Between a labyrinth of nearly 300 islands and islets and the fertile plains of Ravni Kotari lies the charming Dalmatian town of Biograd na Moru. This town has been connecting different worlds for years, boasting the largest lake in Croatia, crystal-clear sea, fertile plains, and rugged stone, all amidst the eternal struggle between the southern (jugo) and northern winds (bura).
A coronation site for Croatian and Croatian-Hungarian rulers, the royal town of Biograd na Moru and its surroundings offer high-quality tourist amenities, natural beauty, and numerous entertainment options. It inspires visitors with its rich history and the passionate, big-hearted locals.
By its very location, Biograd na Moru is a fantastic destination for nature lovers, active holiday enthusiasts, fans of Mediterranean cuisine, and those seeking top-notch accommodation.
In Vransko Jezero Nature Park, just 5 kilometres from the town, there are beautiful viewpoints, birdwatching spots, and opportunities for exploring the lake by kayak and boat. You'll also find an adventure park for children, and in the summer, swimming is possible. About 55 kilometers away, near Šibenik, is the famous Krka National Park. There, you can hike through a unique ecosystem and swim right next to a rushing waterfall.
A boat trip to the stunning Kornati National Park and Telašćica Nature Park, rich in flora and fauna, is highly recommended.
Biograd's nautical paradise, embodied in the Kornati Marina, is located at the entrance to the most indented island group in the Mediterranean of the same name.
Thanks to its favourable coastal location, this fantastic destination offers excellent opportunities for nautical tourism and excursions. The luxurious yacht and multifunctional ship “Nada,” sailing throughout the Adriatic, greatly contribute to unforgettable onboard events.
Biograd is a magical blend of nautical, island, and fishing lifestyles, enriched by centuries-old traditions. This unique synergy is narrated by the narrow streets of the old town, with an 18th-century church and the town museum, where you can see the cargo of a sunken Venetian ship from the 16th century.
Along with its fascinating cultural and historical heritage and extraordinary natural beauty, Biograd na Moru is also known for its beautiful beaches and high-quality hotel and camping accommodations. Near the attractive Blue Flag beach, amid fragrant pine forests and the hotel marina, is the Ilirija Resort, consisting of three hotels: Hotel Kornati 4*, Hotel Ilirija 4*, and Hotel Adriatic 3+* .
Positioned side by side, these hotels create a unique complex bursting with diverse tourist offerings, emphasizing the most modern principles of sustainable business.
