Zadar is known for the Roman and Venetian ruins of its peninsular old town, including several Venetian gates in the city walls. Surrounding the Roman-era Forum are the 11th-century St. Mary’s Convent, with religious art dating to the 8th century; the grand, 12th-century St. Anastasia’s Cathedral; and the round, 9th-century pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donat.

Punta is a sandy beach, rich in the sand on the shore and in the sea. It is ideal for families with children. The beach is partly paved and partly shingle and it is surrounded by pine trees whose shade gives shelter from the most intense heat. Active travelers will find many activities in the vicinity, such as a sailing school, diving, horse riding, beach volleyball, and bike paths, among many others.

Galešnjak is located in the Pašman channel of the Adriatic, between the islands of Pašman and the town of Turanj on mainland Croatia. Fly over the island and propose directly above a heart – it’s nature’s own romantic touch! It is one of the world’s few naturally occurring heart-shaped islands.
Kidnap your Bride!
In certain parts of Croatia, it is a custom for the groom and his peers to literally kidnap the maiden from her home. Of course, the whole event is comical and can include toy weaponry, while the means of escape might be bicycles or even donkeys. The custom is very old, and surprisingly, there were cases when young girls decided to be the kidnappers of their beloved males, especially if these were not keen to enter marital life.
If you want to add a layer of fun to your proposal, we can stage a hilarious kidnapping scene. Once you are alone in the hideout of your choice, explain that according to ancient Croatian traditions, you two are now entitled to marriage!
