Why Nin is worth the short drive
Nin sits on a tiny island in a shallow lagoon, joined to the mainland by two stone bridges. For centuries it was a seat of Croatian kings and bishops, and the small old town still has the Church of the Holy Cross, often called the smallest cathedral in the world, and the statue of Bishop Gregory of Nin. Around the lagoon are sandy beaches, rare on this coast, and the salt works that have produced Nin salt for over a thousand years.
What guests usually do in Nin
- Queen's Beach, a long sandy beach with shallow water for children
- The healing mud at the lagoon, a local tradition
- A walk through the old town and the Church of the Holy Cross
- The Nin salt works and their small museum
- Sunset over the lagoon with Velebit behind
Half-day trip or transfer
Many guests book Nin as a half-day trip from Zadar: Saša drops you in town, waits or comes back at an agreed time, and you are home for dinner. Staying in Nin, Zaton or Vir? It works the other way too, with airport transfers and evening rides into Zadar.
