Hotels | March 2010
Nestled in a charming little bay, Villa Hresc is perfect if you like small-scale and simple-but-luxurious hotels. The guest pool is great for a dip, but the Adriatic is better

Bars | March 2010
Zadar's reputation as the cool capital of Croatia is pretty much all thanks to this fantastic bar, owned and run by UB40's producer Nick Colgan and drummer James Brown. They host great parties in the summer months, and have started the Garden Festival (in July), in the nearby village of Petrcane. Don't miss it.

Zadar's best restaurant serves some of the tastiest nosh this side of the Dalmatian coast. There's truffle monkfish, octopus fish balls with rosemary potatoes, and slow-baked lamb, along with a great wine list. Sit outside on the deck or, on a chilly evening, in the elegant dining room.
