Popular beach, easy promenade walk to Old Town. The sweet spot for travellers who want beach access without being far from the sights.
Kolovare is Zadar's most popular beach neighbourhood — a short walk south of the Old Town along a lovely promenade. The beach itself is pebbly and clean, with calm, clear Adriatic water. Most apartments here are newer and slightly larger than in the Old Town, and prices are a notch lower.
The promenade walk to the Old Town takes about 20 minutes and is genuinely pleasant — past cafés, gardens, and sea views all the way. You get the best of both worlds: beach proximity and easy city access.
Couples and families who want beach access without the Old Town premium. Also great for longer stays (5+ nights) where having a bigger apartment and outdoor space matters.
Studios from €35–55 off-season, €55–90 shoulder, €90–140 peak. Family apartments available from around €65/night in shoulder season.
