Karin is a small village near the Karin Sea in Zadar County, about half an hour by car from Zadar Airport. It suits couples and small families after quiet, and none of the homes here has a private pool.
Karin sits in the city of Obrovac area, with around 820 residents spread over a large area, roughly half the number it had in 1910. The Karin Sea is a small inland sea of about 5.4 km2, joined to the Novigrad Sea by a channel about 2 km long, so it is an inland sea rather than open coast. The homes are small, mostly for two to five, and sit tightly together in the village. Plan on driving for supplies and restaurants.
The sea to the north-west, linked to the Karin Sea by the Karinsko Ždrilo channel, about 2 km long and up to 200 m wide.
A city with a Roman forum, Venetian walls and gates, and an old town on a promontory.
Fly to Zadar Airport, about 28 minutes by car from Karin. Buses from the airport take well over an hour, so a car is the practical way to reach the village and to get around.
About 28 minutes by car. It is a road transfer, and a hire car helps once you arrive because the village and its surroundings are spread over a large area.
Not on open coast. It lies near the Karin Sea, a small inland sea of about 5.4 km2 joined to the Novigrad Sea by a narrow channel. Check how far each home is from the shore.
Not at present among the homes we list here. They are mostly small places for two to five people, so Karin suits a quiet, low-key stay rather than a pool holiday.
It works if you are happy to drive. Karin is a quiet village, and Zadar offers the old town, with Roman and Venetian remains, as a day trip from here.
