      Zadar Croatia

      September 8, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      Located on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, Zadar is a beautiful seaside city with a fascinating historic centre, bustling restaurant scene and hosts five sprawling national parks within easy each. It sits in northern Dalmatia which is towards the middle of Croatia and was once an old Roman port city. Zadar is also known to have some of the best sunsets in the world. It's beautiful historic center was pleasant to stroll through and was not overly touristed. This still remains a slightly under the radar destination compared to many of the more popular cities in Central and Southern Croatia.

      One of the more notable attractions in Zadar is the Sea Organ. It's a series of slits cut into steps that lead into the water from a pier. I THINK the way it works is there is an air chamber underground and the rushing water into the chamber forces air out through a series of pipes set up like organ pipes, this creating sound. There is a video of the Sea Organ in this post.

      June 25, 2023 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Arrived in Zadar about 4.30. We raced into the city to see what we could remember from our last visit. It was warm, so we tried to stay in the shade. First stop was the old town, which seemed to be packed with ice cream shops.
      We spotted an advertisement for a Banksy Exhibition, so we detoured to see that! We thought a must see for Lucy was the ‘sea organ’ ! It’s a series of 35 polyethylene tubes and a resonating chamber that capture the sounds of waves entering the holes! Look it up if you are untested! Today the tide was quite strong. A lively and boisterous sound!!! Certainly was. Wouldn’t like to live close by!
      After our walking we bought a picnic tea to have on board - most of the other passengers went into town for dinner. Lovely relaxing evening, except for the music the barman is playing for our benefit 🤣
