Zadar
Zadar is one of the closest coastal bases for Plitvice, and this list leans on that advantage. The drive inland takes about two hours, so you trade beach for boardwalks without a brutal start. I’ve favored tours that reach the lakes ahead of the midday crowds.
Nestle into a day of scenic wonders and cultural discoveries with the Zadar: Plitvice Lakes Guided Day Tour - an adventure not to be missed!
