In a nutshell

Experience Zadar's emblematic sites from the unique perspective of your kayak: Paddle around the city's ancient walls to the Roman Forum and Foša's historic harbor, then listen to the Sea organ's music played by the waves. You're in the middle of the city, yet the water is clear and inviting. Time to dive in, right? Or, if you prefer, take a break on the beach in the shade of a beach hut.

The programme

Get on the bus toward Puntamika, a pebble beach just outside the center: From the window, take some snapshots of Zadar's landscapes and the adventure begins. Puntamika's brightly colored lighthouse and your kayak instructor will welcome you: Safety instructions, life jacket and you're off gliding on the water. Paddle amid beaches and small harbors to the Old Town, a peninsula where the Ancient Romans build the ancient Zadar: Here's the Roman Forum and the Church of St. Donatus, the only one built on a circular plan.
And then on along the Zadar city walls, built under 16th-century Venetian rule, and Foša harbor, the ancient gateway to the city.
From the kayak, you'll get a glimpse of present times, too, as you glide by Zadar's most renowned installations. The “Greeting to the sun” and the “Sea organ”: Close your eyes and listen to the music played by the waves through the 35 pipes of the only sea organ in the world.
Are you tempted by the clear waters? Then dive in or take a break in the relaxing shade of a beach hut.
