In addition to daily local, national and international traffic with Italy, the ports of Zadar and Gaženica have recorded an increasing number of cruise ship arrivals in recent years. The Port of Gaženica is ideally positioned in relation to the highly developed cruise tourism market in Europe with high growth rates. It is located only 3.5 kilometers from the center of Zadar, is directly connected to the A1 highway which connects the north and south of Croatia with the euro network, and in the immediate vicinity is Zadar Airport. Zadar is only one to two hours away by flight, which, given its rich cultural and natural heritage, makes it an increasingly attractive tourist destination.

Zadar is an important traffic center of the region located halfway between Venice and Dubrovnik and has always been an important transit port. With an annual turnover of 2.4 million passengers and 350,000 vehicles, Zadar is one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean.

The Adriatic Sea is the closest warm sea to many Europeans, and the Adriatic coast is one of the most indented in the Mediterranean with almost 1,000 islands. The Adriatic Sea is characterized by extraordinary clarity and purity. With countless untouched bays, beaches and islands and islets, the Croatian Adriatic is a tourist, and especially a nautical paradise of the Mediterranean. It is a traditional destination and the most closely guarded secret of many local and world celebrities. In the Zadar area there are 10 modern marinas with almost 7,500 berths. Diving, mountaineering, rafting and canoeing, freshwater and sea fishing, hundreds of kilometers of mountain biking trails, horseback riding – are just some of the offer for an active and pleasant vacation.
