Driving this entire coastline was a treat. It's beautiful and for the most part the road hugs the shoreline, at times near the water, at others high up with panoramic seascapes. We have driven many coastlines and this is one of the best.
The campsite in Zadar was at the beach in Borik, a long walk or a quick bus ride from the old , walled city. The city is a good place to stroll about from square to square, church to church, coffee shop to wine bar and along the promenade. Zadar is known for it's Marachino Liqueur but we preferred glasses of the local white wine, Grasevina.
We did a day trip by boat to Kornati National Park and Telasnica Island with it's inland salt lake fed from the sea by cracks in the rock below.
Our next few days were spent in Split. En route we spent a pleasant few hours in Sibenik, where Mylene found a great courtyard restaurant with sea views and the best food of our trip so far. Pasta with truffle and Dalmatian ham, braised beef cheeks, oxtail borek.
In Split, our campsite was in the pleasant town of Omis, on the beach and a bus ride into town. The Unesco Diocletian's Palace is worth a few hours of exploring. One local speciality is Peka, lamb roasted on a fire covered by a large domed lid or "bell". You need to order it a least 3 hours in advance. By now you should have gathered from this blog that vegetarians might have a hard time in Croatia.
