Nin

The small town of Nin is located ina a shallow lagoon about 14 km far from the town of Zadar. Nin was one of the main settlements of the Liburnians until the arrival of the Roman conquerors, and since then the proud Municipium named Aenona.
It is the oldest town, the residence of the Croatian Kings, which was a very important harbour in those centuries. The medicinal peloid of Nin has served the curative purposes since the Roman times till now. Nin and the surrounding tourist resorts welcome their guests tourists with the nicely furnished private apartments, rooms, and their small idylic campsites.

Queens beach

The long natural sandy beaches of Nin, with their total length of 8,000 m, are one of its trademarks and an impressive image which visitors remember about the oldest Croatian royal town. Kraljičina (meaning queen’s) beach is unique in many ways. It is Croatia’s longest sandy beach, and its name is connected to a legend. Namely, during a stay in Nin the first Croatian king, Tomislav, watched with his queen the unforgettable sunset and breath-taking view of the Velebit mountain and enjoyed rare relaxing moments. It is also interesting that on the way to the beach one has to cross a 10-metre long shallow.
