Modern seafront villa with private pool in Nin

The picturesque town of Nin is located in a shallow lagoon surrounded by clear seas, in the embrace of long natural sandy beaches and linked with the mainland by two stone bridges from the 16th century. This small town whose history reaches back three thousand years is the oldest Croatian royal town, the cradle of Croatian culture and the first political, religious and cultural centre of Medieval Croatia which left us numerous monuments in the area. The town with the smallest cathedral in the world is one of the richest archaeological finds in Croatia today. It is also one of the leading destinations in health tourism. Near Kraljičina plaža (Queen's beach) – one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Croatia – there are medicinal mud sites widely known for its healing powers. Nin is also famous for its salt works where salt is still manufactured according to the dictates of a thousand-year-old tradition. Get a real taste of the Mediterranean and try out some traditional Croatian cuisine at one of the many restaurants or cafes, serving delicious, fresh seafood, olive oil and homegrown vegetables. Nin is also surrounded by impressive 110 kilometres of bicycle trails. Quite near the town lies one of the most modern tourist villages in the Adriatic, the Zaton Holiday Resort where sports and active vacation fans can enjoy a wide variety of water and sport activities, as well as organised schools of diving, windsurfing and parasailing. With stunning scenery, heaps of history, sports activities and great food, there is something to suit everyone. Be sure not to miss the nearby famous historical city of Zadar, set on a boat cruise and visit the idyllic islands of Middle Dalmatia or venture further afield to enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful nature of the unique National Parks of Paklenica, Krka, Telaščica and Vransko Lake, as well as the world renowned Kornati Islands.
