Petrčane and Zadar

Tranquility, Comfort, and Nature at Your Fingertips

Petrčane

Petrčane is a charming coastal village just outside the historic city of Zadar. With fewer than 500 residents in the off-season, it offers peace and authenticity while providing everything you need for an unforgettable holiday. Just a 3-minute walk from your apartment, you’ll find two grocery stores, a bakery, cozy coffee shops, vibrant beach bars, and a local stall selling fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables – directly from the hands of local farmers.

Only 250 meters away, Hotel Pinija invites you to relax and recharge with its wellness and sports facilities: indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, a Turkish bath, fitness center, mini golf, tennis, table tennis, and a splash-filled aqua park. For adrenaline seekers, activities like parasailing, speed boat rides, and other thrilling water sports are readily available.

History enthusiasts will be delighted by nearby cultural treasures: Nin, the oldest Croatian royal town, home to the world’s smallest cathedral from the 9th century Zadar, a city with over 3,000 years of history, where you can walk among Roman ruins, explore ancient churches, and admire Venetian palaces.

🌿And for nature lovers – Petrčane is nothing short of paradise. Within just one hour’s drive, you can explore three spectacular national parks: Paklenica National Park (45 km) – with its awe-inspiring canyons and rock formations, a dream for hikers and climbers Kornati National Park (approx. 20 km by sea) – a breathtaking archipelago of 89 islands, perfect for island-hopping boat trips Krka National Park (80 km) – where emerald waterfalls cascade into swimmable rivers beneath lush canopies And that’s not all – nearby Velebit Nature Park and Telašćica Nature Park offer even more opportunities to reconnect with the raw beauty of Dalmatia.
