Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AleesaThe gateway to the nearby Kornati Islands, Zadar, is well worth a visit. Villa Aleesa is just ten kilometres from Zadar Airport, making it easily accessible. The city offers a good mix of modern amenities and historic sights.
The Old Town is sure to be the part of town you’ll want to focus on. Head for the Roman Forum, alongside the Archbishop’s Palace and the Church of St Donat, to see its sights. The Cathedral of St Anastasia is also worth your time, especially if you climb the bell tower, which offers a fine view across the region. If you fancy sampling the excellent local cuisine, you’ll find no shortage of opportunities, but Narodni trg, the Old Town’s centrepiece square, is an excellent place to get a feel for local life, too.
Back on the mainland, you have the wonders of Croatia’s National Parks waiting for you. It won’t take long to reach rugged Paklenica, while Plitvice Lakes is further away but an absolute must when you’re in this region. Indeed, this impressive UNESCO World Heritage site is Croatia’s top visitor attraction.

Region
The Zadar region, anchored by the vibrant city of Zadar, boasts a rich history, breathtaking natural beauty, and a cultural tapestry that dates back millennia. Situated along Croatia's stunning Dalmatian coast, and shaped by the dramatic Velebit mountain range, Zadar is a unique destination offering a captivating array of experiences.
Zadar city is known for its ancient Roman ruins, white sand beach, and rugged coastline. Take a wander through the world of the Old Town's labyrinthine streets, which are a wonder to explore, brimming with historical treasures. Make sure to stop at the Church of St. Donatus, an architectural masterpiece and a prominent example of Byzantine construction and one of the most famous pre-Romanesque churches in Croatia.
Zadar's architectural prowess isn't limited to its historical buildings; it also embraces modern art installations. The Sea Organ, designed by architect Nikola Bašić, is an ingenious creation consisting of underwater pipes and chambers that produce hauntingly beautiful sounds as the waves of the Adriatic Sea wash over it. It's a serene place to watch the sunset, often accompanied by an equally impressive light show from the nearby Greeting to the Sun installation, which comes alive with vibrant colours after dusk.
The city's waterfront promenade, dotted with cafes, bars, and restaurants, provides the perfect setting for relaxed evenings. You can pass away the hours while savouring a leisurely meal and enjoying the sea views with watch boats sailing past. Don't forget to sample the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood, pasticada (a traditional beef stew), and the world-famous Pag cheese. Pair your meal with a glass of local wine or rakija, a strong fruit brandy, to complete the culinary experience.
The Zadar region is renowned for its proximity to a collection of stunning islands, each with its own unique character. Ugljan, often referred to as the "Green Island," is known for its lush vegetation and charming fishing villages. The island offers a serene escape from the bustle of city life, with numerous opportunities for hiking, cycling, and exploring unspoiled beaches.
Dugi Otok, or the "Long Island," is a true gem of unspoiled natural beauty. The island is known for its rugged coastline, pristine coves, and the famous Saharun Beach, with its white sands and crystalclear waters. It’s also home to Telascica Nature Park, a protected area that encompasses stunning cliffs, saltwater lakes, and a diverse range of flora and fauna.
Back on the mainland, and just a couple of hours out of the city you’ll find one of the most renowned natural attractions in Croatia, Plitvice Lakes. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the park is a land of cascading waterfalls, interconnected emerald lakes, and lush forests, with a network of well-maintained trails that guide visitors through this natural wonder. Wooden boardwalks allow you to get up close to the waterfalls, making it a family-friendly destination.
The Zadar region offers more than just natural beauty. The local markets, such as Zadar's Green Market, provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in Croatian culture. Here, you can explore stalls filled with fresh produce, local crafts, and artisanal products, experiencing the flavours and craftsmanship of the region. Zadar is also home to a variety of unique traditions and cultural festivals. Local celebrations, like the annual regatta of traditional boats or performances of 'Klapa' a cappella singing are both integral parts of the region's cultural identity.
The Zadar region is a microcosm of Croatia's diverse and enchanting way of life, with something to offer everyone that visits. It's a place where history, nature, and culture converge to create a harmonious and multifaceted destination. Whether you're hiking through national parks, swimming near waterfalls, exploring ancient cities, or savouring traditional cuisine, the Zadar region promises an unforgettable experience for all. To visit Zadar is to step into the heart of Croatia and experience its multifaceted charm.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere’s plenty to entertain kids at Villa Aleesa, with a sports court, pool table, table tennis and darts for the older ones, and a climbing frame and heated swimming pool for the smaller ones; Villa Aleesa is an excellent option for a family holiday.
This city on the coast is good for shopping and casual dining. It has a lovely waterfront and a few special attractions around the town. Not far from the centre, you have Kolovare Beach, with its crystal clear waters and areas of white sand and pebbles.
Two of Zadar’s best-known attractions are sure to be a big hit with the children. Croatian architect Nikola Bašić’s Sun Salutation and Sea Organ are unlike anything they will have seen before. The Sun Salutation uses the sun’s power to create a spectacular light show which illuminates glass panels beneath your feet, while the Sea Organ makes wave-generated sounds in a set of stone stairs leading down to the ocean. Both are unforgettable multi-sensory experiences, and you’ll find the Sun Salutation and Sea Organ just a short walk from Zadar Old Town.
You are also just an hour’s drive from Šibenik, another city with a wide array of family attractions. You will find a water park, aquarium, historic fortresses and more, all within easy reach of the lovely Krka National Park.
