Nin is Croatia's oldest royal town, the cradle of the Croatian state, set on a tiny island in the middle of a shallow lagoon, only 15 km north of Zadar. The town is home to the Church of the Holy Cross, nicknamed "the smallest cathedral in the world" for its miniature size, and the area around Nin is known for its traditional saltworks, where salt has been produced the same way for centuries. The local mud itself has unique healing properties – Nin peloid is used for natural spa therapy and draws visitors seeking rest for both body and mind. But Nin is best known for its Queen's Beach (Kraljičina plaža), a long sandy beach with shallow, warm water, one of the few truly large sandy beaches on the entire Adriatic, perfect for families with young children. On clear days the coast offers an impressive view of the Velebit mountain range. Nin thus combines rich history, wellness and a family seaside holiday into one unique destination. We offer a wide range of apartments and private accommodation directly from the owners, with no commission. Weather in Nin
