This is a nice modern two bedroom apartment with sea views in the village of Diklo. I moved to Croatia several years ago and I'm happy to offer suggestions for restaurants, beaches, tours, and day trips around Zadar and beyond. The closest beach is 100 meters away and the old town of Zadar is just 15 minutes by car.
Diklo, the seaside village Diklo is considered the elite area of Zadar. It's a village dating back to the 10th century. If you're looking for an old stone village on the seaside of the Adriatic, this is it! The sunsets are wonderful. In Summer, experience the beautiful sunsets on the water in front of the apartment. Enjoy a glass of wine and sit on the terrace or at the nearby marina. There are numerous seaside restaurants, cafes, markets, and a newsstand walking distance from the apartment. There is also a sports ground and tennis courts two minutes away. The Falkensteiner group of hotels in Borik is also nearby and offers everything a tourist might want to enjoy...saunas, massage, pool, bars, restaurants, jet skis, etc. Fun for young and old alike.
Zadar, the old city A visit to the walled Venetian city of Zadar is a must! Walk along the narrow traffic-free marble streets, through the cute alleyways lined with bars and restaurants, and along the Zadar waterfront. You can take a taxi or the bus which leaves from Diklo to Zadar every half hour. In Zadar, you can choose from one of the many tours offered to visit the islands of Kornati. Each tour is somewhat different, so ask for specifics. i.e. How big is the boat? Where does it stop? What is included in the price? etc. You can also book tours at the hotel in Borik, these may be a bit more expensive but they are tried and tested. If you enjoy nightlife and party boats, be sure to check out the nightclub called The Garden, which is located on top of the old stone walls of Zadar. Also, visit Petrcane's cafe and bar which hosts popular Summer music festivals for UK and Croatian clientele. |
