Zadar is the capital of the province of the same name in Croatia and is located on the Adriatic coast. Its history is very ancient, it is several thousand years old, in it you can find traces of different cultures and civilizations. Zadar was conquered by the Romans and was under the heel of the Byzantine Empire. For Croatia, this fortress is of great cultural importance.
Powerful fortification walls, solid fortification towers and reliable thick gates of ancient Zadar have been perfectly preserved to this day. This city is imbued with the spirit of history and it is a pleasure to walk along its ancient streets. But modern hotel complexes are located in the new district of Zadar - Borike, there are also popular beaches, entertainment centers and restaurants.
The cultural calendar of the ancient city is filled with enchanting holidays, festivals and fairs. The end of April is the “Days of Flowers”, where you can see the most amazing and colorful children of Flora, as well as learn everything about their cultivation.
All locals and seasoned tourists are looking forward to the days of the annual Zadar City Fair. It traditionally lasts almost all summer - from June to August. During this time, the fair has been visited by hundreds of thousands of guests of the ancient city of Croatia.
On weekends, stalls are set up on the main streets of Zadar. You can find original souvenirs, local wine-making products, fresh products and products of skilled culinary specialists in them. The merchants' stocks are inexhaustible and limitless. Every time you can find something new and interesting, moving from tray to tray.
All guests of the city feel the warmth and friendliness of local residents. During the fair, Zadar is like an oriental bazaar - bright, noisy, gambling, fun and colorful. However, tourists face serious dangers during the festival. The first trouble is the loss of the sense of time, because you can wander for long hours among a variety of goods, forgetting about the beach, sand and sea.
You will see the second danger in an empty wallet and a heap of souvenirs and gifts for loved ones. Do not lose your sense of proportion, because the inviting voices of merchants are hypnotizing, and the flickering and circulation of bright spots fascinate! This is a joke, of course, just the atmosphere of the fair contributes to the feeling of lightness and carelessness of being.
