Excursion Boat to the Kornati Islands
Excursion boat to the Kornati Islands

Not only is Zadar a great place to visit but it makes a good base to explore other highlights of northern Dalmatia. Plus, it's near no less than four national parks.

Here are some possibilities for good day trips from Zadar:

Kornati Islands National Park
This sprinkling of rocky islands feels " as if you are looking at the earth's skeleton, not yet fully fleshed out" according to a recent article in The Independent.

Paklenica National Park
Hiking, rock climbing or a gentle mountain walk are all on offer here, only 45 minutes by car or bus.

Pag Island
There are some great beaches and great eating on this island where sheep outnumber people.

Dugi Otok
Regular boats whisk you to this long island that is never overrun with tourists.

Plitvice Lakes National Park
It's a long drive (about 2 hours) but doable and what a reward at the end!

Krka Waterfalls National Park
Only about an hour away and here's another National park with more lakes and falls.

Sibenik
With a wonderful cathedral and a fascinating history, Sibenik is certainly worth the hour's drive from Zadar.

Biograd
This small town is right near the sandy Soline Cove, perfect for swimming.
