Paradise for Two

Forty-eight hours from most European capitals by direct flight, Zadar's old peninsula holds some of Dalmatia's best-preserved Roman and medieval fabric — and Paradise for Two occupies a ground-floor apartment on Ulica Cvijete Zuzorić, a quiet residential street inside those walls.

The unit runs fully self-catered, with a kitchen, air conditioning, balcony, and flat-screen TV. Private parking is included, which matters in old-town Zadar where street space is scarce. The property is smoke-free throughout.

Zadar's Sea Organ and Sun Salutation installation on the waterfront promenade sit under ten minutes on foot. The morning fish market on the harbour edge and the ferry terminal for Ugljan island are both within easy walking distance.
