Zadar
Croatia may not be the first place that comes to mind when one thinks of a Christmas getaway and, yet, as a country with a population that is about 85% Catholic, it is actually a perfect spot to enjoy the Holidays abroad. Boasting lots of unique Christmas traditions to take part in, some delicious and hearty festive dishes to warm you up and leave you feeling satisfied, lots of Christmas markets to explore in cities across the country, and more besides, there is plenty to make Croatia a rather special place to spend the Holiday Season. In particular, if you’re looking for a destination that boasts mild winter weather, pretty sea views, charming surroundings, and that is a winter holiday hotspot then a vacation rental in Zadar for the Christmas holidays is just the thing!

Zadar is completely free of the tourist crowds that are so common throughout the summer come December but fills up instead with festive cheer with the dawning of Advent, leaving you plenty of space to kick back, relax, and enjoy it all. Lights twinkle in the streets, Christmas music floats out of shops, the scent of mulled wine and sweets hangs in the air, and all sorts of events and celebrations take place, transforming the city into a winter wonderland – minus the snow or serious cold!     Read More
