Vir is an island in North Dalmatia that, unlike most Croatian islands, is connected to the mainland by a bridge – so you can reach the sea comfortably by car, with no ferry needed. The island has a low, flat landscape and is famous for its long sandy and pebble beaches with shallow water, ideal for families with young children. Above the town rise the remains of the Kaštelina fortress, a reminder of the island's rich history. Vir lies just about 30 km from Zadar and close to the historic town of Nin, so cultural trips and shopping are only a few minutes' drive away. All along the island's coastline you'll find numerous apartments right by the sea, ideal for a peaceful family holiday by the water. Thanks to its combination of easy accessibility, shallow beaches and relaxed atmosphere, Vir ranks among the most beloved destinations for swimming with children on the entire Croatian coast. We offer a wide range of private accommodation directly from the owners, with no commission. Weather on Vir island
