The capital of Croatia is Zagreb. Croatia can boast innumerable natural and cultural resources. There are 8 National Parks, 11 Nature Parks and 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Due to its location, the climate in Croatia is divided into two zones: Moderately Continental and Mediterranean. Average temperatures during summer in Croatia vary between 23 °C and 26 °C in the coastal area and between 20 °C and 22 °C in the continental part. During winter, average temperatures range between 0 and -2 °C and in the coastal area between 4 and 6 °C while at the south of the country the average temperature is higher than 6 ° C. Since 1 July 2013, Croatia became a member of the European Union, but the national currency for payment is still the Croatian kuna (abbreviation KN or HRK). DESTINATIONS VISITED DURING THE SUMMER HOLIDAY Zadar is a city in northern Dalmatia region and the center of Zadar County. It has about 75.000 inhabitants. Due to its position in the center of the Adriatic, it is well connected with the rest of Croatia and easily accessible by land, air and sea. Zadar is a city of 3,000 years long and interesting history. The inner city center is located on a peninsula that has been the target of numerous invaders and destroyed several times over the centuries. The turbulent past has left many significant monuments that still adorn the city today. One of the most recognizable symbols of the city is the church of St. Donatus from the 9th century that captivates visitors with its monumental size and specific circular shape. Remains of the largest Roman Forum ever built in Croatia testify the Roman urbanization of the city, which began in the 1st century BC. Zadar's cathedral is dedicated to St. Anastasia and it is the largest cathedral in entire Dalmatia region. The modern installations Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun are situated on the promenade by the sea. They are unique in entire world and have become a symbol of the city. Krka waterfalls National Park covers the area along the river Krka and was declared a national park in 1985. Krka River is a natural and karst phenomenon with its 7 travertine waterfalls. The most famous is Skradinski buk waterfall. Besides waterfalls, there is a small island of Visovac in the national park, located in the middle of the lake, and since 1445 there is a Franciscan monastery on the island. Within national park is ethnographic exhibition with ancient watermills. Dugi otok (literal translation: Long island) is one of the numerous islands in the Zadar archipelago and the 7th largest island in the Adriatic. On the southeastern part of the island is Telašćica Nature Park, which includes the Mir bay, a favorite anchorage among the sailors. The natural salt lake Mir is well known for its healing mud. On the opposite side of the bay are 166 meters high cliffs that make the largest cliff range in the Adriatic. On the island you can find numerous picturesque fishing villages with stone houses and secluded beaches with turquoise, clear waters that represent a paradise for all who seek peace oasis. Sakarun is one of the most beautiful sandy coves in Croatia, and is located in the northwestern part of the island. On the island of Dugi otok is one of the most attractive underwater caves Golubinka that fascinates visitors with its magnificent underground beach. Velebit mountain Nature park is the largest protected area in Croatia with rich natural heritage and incredibly 79 endemic plant species growing on rocks and mountain pastures. Due to its biodiversity, the Velebit Nature Park is included in the UNESCO network of international biosphere reserves. Velebit mountain is unique and due to the architectural skills of the local population, which had to adapt to the rough karst landscape of the mountain, so the special achievement is the historic Master Road (cro: Majstorska cesta), which was built in the 19th century. Tul's rafters is the name of the most attractive mountain peak, where numerous scenes were filmed for films about Winneto, the Indian chief and the main character of Karl May's novels. Zrmanja Canyon was created thousands of years ago when Zrmanja river made its way to the sea through the karst under Velebit mountain. Zrmanja river is 69 km long and can be divided into two parts. First part covers the area from the source to the last waterfall - Janković buk, while the second part covers the area from the last waterfall to the point where the river flows into the Novigrad Sea. Obrovac is located about 4 kilometers downstream of Jankovic Buk, and 11 kilometers upstream of the mouth of the Novigrad Sea. The river is characterized by a clean, emerald green color and is the habitat of gray herons, ducks, cave pigeons, falcon and others. .

    Tourism Introduction Zadar County encompasses marine area from Island Pag to National Park Kornati and land area of Velebit, i.e. the central part of the Croatian coastline. This is the area of true natural beauty, inhabited from the Antique period, rich with cultural heritage, maritime tradition and hospitality. Zadar County is the heart of the Adriatic and the fulfilment of many sailors' dreams with its numerous islands as well as interesting and clean underwater. It can easily be accessed from the sea, by inland transport and airways. Inseparable unity of the past and the present can be seen everywhere. Natural beauties, cultural and historical monuments have been in harmony for centuries, because men lived in harmony with nature. As a World rarity, here, in a relatively small area, within a hundred or so kilometres, one can find beautiful turquoise sea, mountains covered with snow, fertile land, rough karst, ancient cities and secluded Island bays. This is the land of the sun, warm sea, olives, wine, fish, song, picturesque villages with stone- made houses, to summarise - the true Mediterranean. History of Tourism in Zadar Tourism in Zadar has a long tradition. The historical yearbooks record that in June 1879 a group of excursionists from Vienna visited Zadar, in 1892 the City Beautification Society was founded (active until 1918), and in 1899 the Mountaineering and Tourism Society "Liburnia" was founded. At the beginning of the XX century, in March 1902 hotel Bristol was opened to the public (today's hotel Zagreb). Most important period for the development of tourism in Zadar County lasted from the 60's - 80's of the 20th century, when the majority of the hotel complexes were erected.

  • The Krk Diocese
    THE KRK DIOCESE THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR HIS TEACHINGS O I R E T S I IN M T I E N IO ORAT FOREWORD The centuries-long presence of Christianity on the islands of the Krk Diocese is deeply rooted in the life and culture of its population, which has been subject to a succession of various social orders during the course of history. Until the year 1828, there were three dioceses within this territory: Krk, Osor and Rab. The presence of a bishop and his relationship with the people had a strong impact upon spiritual formation and identity. The pas- tors of the small dioceses of the Kvarner Islands demonstrated magna- nimity and openness of spirit toward the beautiful and modern, while at the same time listening to the “pulse” of the people, incorporating their language in worship. The beauty of handwritten and illuminated Glagolitic missals, psalters and antiphonals greatly enriched the corpus of liturgical literature traditionally written in Latin. Christian culture, both spiritual and material, is reflected here in the arts of painting, architecture, literature, poetry and music. This is a Church distinguished by its priests and religious, especially the Benedictines and Franciscans, including those with the reputation of saintliness, who have played exceptional historical roles in the raising and fostering of national consciousness, enhancement of the quality of life, education in moral principles, and the creation and safeguarding of the cultural heritage. These values provided a firm foundation for assuring the survival of this nation under changing conditions, not infrequently im- posed by fire and sword.

  • Zadar Region
    zadar.hr CAMPING ZADAR REGION Dear campers, The longest stretch of the marvelous, very picturesque and well-indented coast, and also the greatest number of islands of the “Thousand Island Coast” belong to Zadar County. Among them are Kornati National Park and Telašäica Nature Park as a micronesian series of glistening jewels. The Zadar region borders with four Croatian national parks: Plitvice, Paklenica, Kornati and Krka. Today Zadar County is among the most famous camping destinations in Croatia, with more than one hundred big and small auto camps that offer quality with modern technical features, ecological certifi cates and adequate programs of animation for families and the young. Auto camp „Zaton“ Nin is thus the fi rst and only Croatian camp with Supercamp features, according to the standards of the German ADAC and the prestigious chain „Leading auto camps“. Camp „Šimuni“ on the island of Pag and „Soline“ in Biograd na moru are proud members of the Croatian camping brand „TOP CAMPS“, while the naturist camp „Sovinje“ on the island of Pašman is one of the remaining pearls designed for nude camping lovers in Croatia. We point out to campers the new and fast motorway that makes it possible to quickly and easily reach the sea. The Zadar region is situated between the mountains and the Adriatic seacoast. It is characterized by various landscapes full of contrast, an excellent gastronomic offer and hospitable inhabitants. It is an area where culture, art and tradition are combined. A great number of hours of sun, gentle Mediterranean climate, mountain scenario, karst phenomenology, and the Adriatic coast known throughout the world for its beauty are good reasons for new experiences and an ideal vacation rich with varied activities.

This area offers not only spectacular scenery, but also cultural highlights—a once in a lifetime travel experience. Our tour includes Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, North- Macedonia & Albania. And, as so often happens, the ancient Greeks and Romans were there before us—so we’ll try to see and understand what drew them to this beautiful part of the world. Our tour will include visits to 12 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Croatia has been an EU member since 2013; Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo & Albania are looking to be admitted which means that one Schengen visum (for Croatia) will allow us entry into all the countries visited on our tour. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Day 1: 24 September 2020 Cape Town to Zagreb We meet at the Cape Town International Airport early in the afternoon for our direct, overnight flight to Istanbul and from there we fly directly to Zagreb in Croatia where we arrive early in the morning.
