A Love-Shaped City, Galesnjak
Any Croatia honeymoon locations list without Galesnjak is incomplete. Famous since highlighted by Google Earth in 2009, its heart-shaped form has since become a hit and a destination of choice for lovers. It’s easy to understand the myth associated with this wonderful, heart-shaped Island. The best way to arrive this city is obviously through the sky. The memories of the view will make your honeymoon unforgettable.
Though not much is on the ground by way of amenities, still this lovers’ Island is a choice destination to visit on your Croatia Honeymoon. The waters around this heart-shaped Island could, of course, be better, but it’s emerald-blue waters are clear enough for you and your partner to take a dip in the ocean with pebble beach. As there are yet any hotels, to stay overnight, you have two options, camping or to stay in Pasman, another popular tourist destination. This city is a must visit on your Croatia honeymoon, especially if you want that mythical romantic twist.
The Island of Pasman
Pasman Island (pronounced Pash-man) is another island located south of Zadar. On the whole island, there are about dozen villages and hamlets. The island was originally inhabited since the Roman times.
Pasman Island is Easy to Reach
Due to its beautiful nature and attractive landscapes as well as the frequent ferry connections and handy bridge to the mainland, Pasman is popular summer honeymoon destination for foreign as well as local visitors. The island is also a great place to visit in spring or autumn for cycling or walking trips as there are plenty of cycling and walking routes on the island. Due to the sea current constantly changing (every six hours) its waters are considered to be among the cleanest waters in Adriatic.
Staying on Pasman Island
You can use Pasman Island as your starting point for visiting the many islands in the area. The island has just over 2000 permanent residents. Many of the residents of Pasman have traditionally offered accommodation in private rooms and apartments in their houses. There is also a camping site on the island – Camping Arboretum – a lovely family run campsite located in the village of Barotul – a small fisherman’s village surrounded by olive trees with its own bay and sandy beach. Great for honeymoons.
The City Of Zadar
Ravaged by a war which lasted from 1991 to 1995, the impact of that war is evident around its surrounding villages. However, over the past 10 years, increasing infrastructural developments has pushed this coastline city, located in the northern Dalmatia, up on our list of top Croatia honeymoon locations. And due to its proximity to the Lovers Island of Galesnjak (as stated earlier), it deserves to be on this list.
Best Time To Visit Zadar
Summer offers the best value for money for those who decide to visit Zadar because there are enough low-cost flights into the city’s airport. You can also catch up on more than enough events and festivals. The beautiful summer weather also gives you and your partner enough opportunities to explore the coastline and several smaller islands this city has to offer.
Swimming In Zadar
There are nice beautiful beaches in the surrounding towns (you and your partner may not find Zadar beaches as clear enough), especially the most popular one on the nearby island of Dugi Otok, the sandy beach of Sarahun or the Lojenka swimming bay on the Levranka islet.
Food And Accommodation In Zadar
If you are wild about seafood, you would love this city, with fresh supplies from the Adriatic. There is sheep cheese and mutton, gotten from excellent lamb from surrounding mountains. Vegetarians aren’t left out, as there’s constant supply of veggies from inland villages.
There are a few hotels to offer, and summer is the best time to visit. NOTE: You may decide to avoid visiting in the month of August, as this is when the cost of hotel accommodations are highest. You and your partner may also choose to camp at the most popular campsite at Zaton, a village, 10.5 miles North of Zadar.
