About Donje Rastane
Donje Raštane lies about 22 km by road from Zadar, around 25 minutes by car. The homes are spread over several kilometres rather than gathered around one centre. Many have a private pool, most have a garden, nearly all have air conditioning, and plenty have a fireplace for the cooler months. Many sleep eight or more, so big groups and extended families are well served, though smaller homes exist too. Public transport is limited: the line 118 bus from Zadar bus station runs about four times a day, so plan your days around a car. For a change from the pool, Vransko jezero, Croatia's largest lake, is a nature park with a bird reserve. Evenings tend to be spent at the house.
