Camping Peros

The Camping Peros team can arrange excursions to the national parks within easy reach – Kornati, Krka, Paklenica and Plitivis; to to Modric Cave, and to the nature park of Lake Vrana. Boat and yacht hire can also be organised for guests. The coastal town and award-winning beach of Zaton is within a couple of kilometres; the sands of Queen' beach within four, and the town of Nin within five, the ancient Croatian cultural centre where seven kings were crowned. The medicinal muds (polaid) of Nin have been used to treat human ailments since Roman times: wallow in them near Queen's beach before basking on the sands to dry your muddy coat, then plunging in the sea to wash it all off. Once clean, plan to have at least a couple of days in Zadar, fast becoming a top Croatian and Dalmatian Coast travel destination. Which sights to hone in on will depend on individual taste, but among the best known are the Roman Forum, founded by the emperor Augustus; the round and ninth-century Church of St. Donatus and its collection of metalwork, and the 15th-century citadel, preserved almost exactly the same as it once was. A must in Zadar is listening to the spectacular Sea Organ on the Old Town’s waterfront – making sure you have a dance at the Sun Salutation afterwards.
