Is Zadar worth visiting in Croatia?


Is Zadar worth visiting in Croatia? It's one of the coolest places on the Adriatic. In Croatian terms, it's improbably crowd-free. The city sunsets are memorably beautiful. And its mix of cliffs, coves and ancient Roman streets are worlds apart from Split or Dubrovnik's cruise ship crowds.

Is Zadar or Hvar better?
