Zadar
The city of Zadar not only impresses with its long traditions and fascinating history. It is also the gateway to the Dalmatian region. The city of around 88,000 inhabitants offers the perfect combination of culture, beach and leisure activities. For example, visit the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun. If you are looking for a romantic experience, visit the spectacular installations at sunset. Indeed, the sunsets in Zadar are considered the most beautiful ever.
A walk through the old town is especially recommended, as it is an ultimate highlight of Zadar. You can feel yourself being transported back in time to different eras. There are also several beaches for bathers – especially the pebble beaches of Borik and Kolovare are worth a trip. There is no danger of getting bored in Zadar, as there is a wide range of leisure activities, restaurants and bars.
In addition, Zadar is home to a first-class boutique marina: D-Marin Borik.
Sukošan
Sukošan is located 7 km south of the historical town of Zadar. The place is known not only for its beautiful beaches, but also for the largest marina – D-Marin Dalmacija.
It is not without reason that Sukošan is called “Dječji raj”, translated into English as “children’s paradise”. The fact that the beach slopes very gently into the sea and invites you to run around makes the place especially suitable for families. Culinary highlights are also popular here: The local restaurants offer some gourmet delights, especially for fish lovers.
Sukošan is also an ideal starting point for excursions to the surrounding national and nature parks. In total, there are two nature parks and five national parks in the neighbourhood, each a jewel in its own way.
- Plitvice Lakes National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
- Kornati National Park
- Paklenica National Park
- Krka National Park
- Northern Velebit National Park
- Nature Park Telašćica
- Nature Park Vransko Lake
Tribunj
An absolute insider tip in Croatia is the pretty town Tribunj. Together with Vodice, Tribunj is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations on the Sibenik Riviera. The old town here is also particularly charming and enchants its visitors with romantic stone houses and little streets. In the middle of a magnificent seafront setting, traditional local restaurants pamper their guests.
D-Marin Tribunj is one of the newest marinas on the Croatian coast and is located right in the heart of the Dalmatian town known for its traditions.
The Marina Tribunj is also home to our Yachting Boutique, which combines German precision with Croatian passion. We are your strong partner for buying, managing or selling your yacht. Feel free to contact us with your request.
Vodice
On a picturesque bay, just ten kilometres northwest of Šibenik, lies the lively little harbour town of Vodice. It is not without reason that the name of the town is derived from the word “voda”, which means “water”. Springs were once found here that supplied the surrounding land with precious drinking water.
With its almost 9,000 inhabitants, the small town can proudly count itself among the most popular holiday destinations in Croatia. The lively promenade, which stretches four kilometres along the 400-berth marina to Tribunj, plays an important role. But the port city also scores with its quieter, romantic alleys in the old town, where numerous wine cellars and konobas can be found.
Primošten
Primošten is probably one of the best-known tourist centres in Dalmatia. An interesting fact: organised tourism began here as early as the 1960s. The picturesque town enchants its visitors with narrow alleys and a beautiful old town rising on a hill. On a second peninsula to the north of the town centre, the hotel complexes invite you to take a break from everyday life.
Split
Split is not only the second largest city in Croatia, it is also located in the heart of the Dalmatian region. Diocletian’s Palace forms the core of the charming old town. The palace has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 and is well worth a visit.
Split is one of Croatia’s most important ferry harbours and is a popular and well-visited destination, especially in summer. Not without reason, because no matter whether you are looking for peace and relaxation, insights into the life of a typical Croatian metropolis or Croatian history – Split can offer you all of this.
