Highlights

- ST. MICHAEL's fortress
Fort St. Michael is situated 265 m above sea level. It dates from the 13th century when it was a Venetian fortress. However, today it is not a fortress any more but a popular viewpoint. There both locals and tourists come to enjoy the view over the beautiful Zadar channel.

- ISLAND ZEČEVO
This picturesque little island is located in the vicinity of the town of Nin. In fact, during the low tide, you can reach it on foot, as it becomes a part of the mainland. If you want to learn more about local traditions, join the annual pilgrimage to Our Lady of Zečevo and enjoy the hospitability of the local people.

- ISLAND PAŠMAN
Three Islands Tour will lead you to the island Pašman. It is a part of the Zadar archipelago and attracts lots of tourists every year. Sandy beaches, homemade wine and olive oil, hospitable locals and amazing nature are only some of the reasons why you should visit Pašman.
In conclusion, don’t miss this gem!
