St. Jacob's Cathedral, Sibenik

Northern Dalmatia
Driving south on the twisting Magistrala, the old road that hugs the Croatian coast, the first Dalmatian city you come across is Zadar. One more example of the plurality of Croatia's history, Zadar at different points in time has been ruled by Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Hungarians, Venetians, Italians, Germans and Croatians. Lose yourself in the maze of narrow stone streets and find the hidden beauties of Dalmatia. Don't miss the awe inspiring medieval churches of Zadar such as St. Donat's, St. Mary's and the Cathedral of St. Anastasia.

Sibenik
Continuing south, the next major town is Šibenik. The history of Šibenik is different than most of the Dalmatian cities because its story does not begin until the 11th century. Founded as a Croatian fortress, Šibenik soon became a thriving port under the Venetians. The city is best known for its spectacular renaissance Cathedral of St. Jacob.

Trogir is one of Dalmatia's most seductive towns - stone streets winding out from the main square are lined with palaces, churches and other architectural masterpieces.

Just off the coast of Northern Dalmatia rest the islands of Pag and Prvic. The flavorful sheep's cheese from Pag is known throughout Southeastern Europe, and you can easily pick some up anywhere in Croatia, but enjoying it on the lavender coated island is a special experience in itself. Prvic is a quiet island with sleepy fishing villages, but it offers an ideal location for day trips along the Dalmatian coast for those looking for a more peaceful escape.

Our favorite experience:
Take a seat midway along Zadar's Riva and listen to the unique Sea Organ. A set of organ pipes built into the water's edge and powered by the waves, this inimitable instrument makes Zadar the only place in the world where you can listen to the music of the sea.

Traveling to Croatia with Stephen of madriaticBLU was terrific! Croatia is a stunningly beautiful country with friendly people and wonderful history, architecture, and food. I am looking forward to returning. When I do return, it will definitely be with madriaticBLU as my tour guide.
