Description

Cruise the sheltered waters of Jazine Bay as the sun begins to set on Zadar, an ancient city that you will explore at your leisure. The cruise will offer a unique perspective of Zadar – the oldest continuously inhabited city in Croatia – which will look all the more radiant at dusk when sky becomes a canvas of vibrant colors. You will disembark at the Sea Organ, a set of marble steps that plays harmonic sounds when seawater rushes through pipes fitted with whistles beneath the steps. It is quite the phenomenon as is the adjacent Greeting to the Sun, a solar-powered monument that creates an imaginative light show each evening. Both multi-sensory attractions helped fuel Zadar’s resurgence. In the peninsular city center, you will also find portions of fortified walls that the Romans built and an excavated forum whose construction started during the reign of Augustus, the first Roman emperor.
