About Zadar/Sukošan
Sukošan is a village and holiday resort on the coast between Zadar and Biograd na Moru, and it is a nautical centre with the Zlatna luka marina. The coastline is long and cut into numerous coves, with pebble beaches and a few sand ones. Farming, winemaking, olive and fruit growing sit alongside tourism. History is close at hand: the parish church of St Kasijan probably dates to the 11th century, and ruins of a medieval fortress stand on Cape Bribircina. Our homes spread across the wider area rather than one cluster, mostly sleeping around four to six, and some have a private pool. A garden is uncommon. Expect to drive to the coves.

Zadar/Sukošan villa holidays: questions answered

Around 10 minutes by taxi, and roughly 8 km. The airport sits at Zemunik Donji, so transfers are short at either end of the trip.

Not really. The coastline has numerous coves, with pebble beaches and only a few sand ones. If sand matters most, check each beach before you book.

Yes. It is described as a nautical centre and has the Zlatna luka marina, so a stay here can revolve around boats rather than the beach.
