MEDCRUISE CONFERENCE IN ZADAR

Zadar welcomed the 46th MedCruise General Assembly, a major cruise event in the Mediterranean and its adjoining seas. The organization recognized Zadar and the region as destination offering premier cruise-destination opportunities. Set up in 1996, MedCruise has grown to a membership of more than 100 ports in 20 countries and 31 associate members, representing the majority of passenger movements and cruise calls in the region.

HOBA

Did you know that Mediterranean cuisine is not only one of the most healthiest cuisines in the world, but is also included in the UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity? Fish, wine and olive oil are the Holy Trinity of the Mediterranean cuisine, but when in Dalmatia, you should also try octopus under the bell, or as the locals call it „hobotnica ispod peke“ . The best thing about this delicious dish is that is very easy to prepare! Just put octopus, garlic, potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh rosemary in a flat round tray and let it bake. After an hour of baking, add a 1 dc of white wine and let it bake for another half hour. Enjoy and „dobar tek“!

SAKARUN

If we were to choose the most beautiful beach in Croatia, Sakarun would definitely be high on the list! Located on the northwest coast of Dugi otok, Sakarun is a wide and 800-metre-long sandy beach viewing the Adriatic. It has regularly been awarded as the most beautiful Adriatic beach so trust us when we tell you that its intensity of the colours will leave you breathless! Since the water there is shallow, Sakarun is ideal for families with small children, but also for everyone else who enjoy crystal clear sea and low-profile destination. Discover this stunning beach this summer!

VESPA

If you are a Vespa lover, you surely visited Biograd na moru the second weekend in June (from 11th to 14th). After Paris, Rome, Barcelona, San Marino, Vienna and London, this year Biograd hosted the biggest worldwide Vespa event - Vespa World Days 2015! Vespa World Days are being held since 1954 and this year more than 4 000 Vespa drivers arrived and enjoyed themselves all the way from Biograd to Zadar!

WINGS FOR LIFE

At the beginning of May 4000 runners from Croatia and all over the world gathered in Zadar to run for those who can't! The Wings for Life World Run is a global running event in aid of the fight to find a cure for spinal cord injury and more than 90 000 runners at 35 locations around the globe on May 3rd became one team, with one goal – to make spinal cord injury curable. The Croatian Wings for Life World Run track started next to the Roman Forum, and St Donatus' Church, Zadar's popular landmarks, continued through the city, headed toward the Adriatic highway and finished in Primošten. Congratulations to all participants!
