Introducing Zadar

Zadar is a captivating city nestled between Split and Plitvice, often serving as a popular stopover for travelers. Due to Croatia's unique coastline, there aren't many places where you can witness a truly spectacular sunset, making Zadar famous as a prime sunset destination.

Within Zadar's Old Town, you'll find must-visit spots like St. Donatus Church, St. Anastasia Cathedral, and the Zadar Bell Tower. For the ultimate end to your day, head to the Sea Organ around sunset. There, you can listen to the enchanting symphony of waves and organ pipes while watching the sun dip below the horizon – pure magic!

A Glimpse of Zadar Market

As you first step into the market, you'll see vendors selling locally produced olive oils, various preserves, and cheeses.

✔️Prices range from about ~$3 to ~$16, with various sizes available. They make excellent souvenirs or gifts!

Perhaps it's because Zadar is a coastal city, but the vibrant canvas awnings of the market against the clear blue sky were absolutely stunning.

Seasonal Fruit Picks (Summer 2026)

For summer travelers (July-August) in Croatia, be sure to look for these seasonal fruits:

Cherries

Flat Peaches

Plums (Prunes)

Watermelon

While these were abundant, you'll also find a fantastic selection of other fresh fruits like green grapes, regular peaches, figs, and melons. Honestly, with so much fresh produce, deciding what to buy each time was the hardest part!

Fruits are priced per kilogram (about 2.2 pounds). For two adults, purchasing around 1.1 to 2.2 pounds should be enough for a day's worth of snacks. We grabbed about 1.1 pounds of cherries for ~$5!

Breakfast Menu Recommendation

If you're staying in an Airbnb while traveling, you've probably faced the breakfast dilemma. Cafe breakfasts can be pricey, often running ~$11-~$16 per person.
