I picked this place because it was literally the biggest dot on the map on my way to Greece. I took an 8 hour night bus to get here. I regretted that decision almost as I was booking it. The plus side it that I don’t get there late at night in the dark. I did, however, show up at sunrise sans sleep with a heavy head of failed Xanax with empty streets and nothing open excepts for the taxi drivers waiting for people just like me. My 6 block cab ride cost me $20 partially because I didn’t have any local currency, mostly because it’s just a rip-off since they know travelers showing up at a bus station at 5 am do not know that it’s a 10 minute walk to city center. (I did not do any homework).
The center of old town Zadar is Zara. The walled fortress is a no car zone with thin walking streets dotted with roman ruins, a handful of churches, and a long stone boardwalk along the sea flanking the ancient walls. The warer is a clear light blue and I too a dip for breakfast. Afterward, I crashed out on a rock pier until I could drop my bag at my apartment.
It’s an uber touristy platz (mostly Germans), but it also feels safe within the fortress knowing there is a pretty big city outside the walls to deal with. I am content chillaxing here for a couple days.
