Trip down the history lane.

European Destination of Excellence, the oldest royal Croatian town, and the place where the early Croatian state was born.

So much history concentrated in such a small area and all this within easy reach of resort guests.

Visiting the town of Nin from Zaton Holiday Resort does not require major planning, since you can reach it in less than half an hour on foot, 5 minutes by car or by a tourist train operating from the resort. So, take a walk, cycle, or drive to Nin, visit the world’s smallest cathedral, learn about traditional salt production and wish for luck by touching the golden toe of Gregory of Nin’s statue.

The major cultural and natural sites include:

  • Nin saltworks with the unique Salt Museum
  • Remains of the Roman Forum with the temple
  • The church of st. Nicholas located on a hillock just outside of Zaton Holiday Resort
  • Church of the Holy Cross, the smallest cathedral in the world
  • Queen’s Beach that stretches 3 km in length, equally famous for its warm and shallow water and local myths and legends
  • Medicinal mud used for treating rheumatic, muscular and skin ailments

Distance from the resort: 2 km
