An abundance of national parks!
What is a must-see?
The ancient bell tower town of Zadar, believed to be more than three thousand years of age. A walk down the oldest street of Kalelarga, viewing a few churches, the Benedictine treasury of sacral art, the Roman forum, city gates, etc., are well worth the effort. During your sightseeing tour, listen to the sea tunes of the famous sea organ and in the evening, reserve some time to enjoy the most beautiful sunset from the ""Greetings to the Sun"" tourist point.
Unique in the Mediterranean is the island group Kornati Archipelago which boasts numerous islands with astounding forms. The 140 islands comprising an area of 70 km2 are embossed with astonishingly high cliffs.
