Riviera Novigrad

Even major festivals and events, such as the Day of the Adriatic Squid or the traditional Christmas market are designed with the locals in mind more than for foreign visitors – and authentic is just how they act. Nevertheless, there is a lot to discover in the former late antique settlement. First, you need a little time and leisure to explore the loggia and ramparts, churches, museums and palaces. Between immersing oneself in the fascinating history of the city and plunging into the dazzling blue Adriatic Sea, it is a blessing that there are so many restaurants providing more than enough opportunities for relaxing and recharging.

Worth mentioning: Approximately 5 kilometers north of Novigrad Mareda there is a resort that emerged in the 1970s due only to tourism with a large campsite, a wide variety of sports and leisure activities and is primarily aimed at families with children. Those who want to enjoy recreation and relaxation by the sea without the usual excesses of mass tourism even in high season, is best off in Dajla. The once early Christian settlement is picturesquely situated on a promontory behind the monastery of Dajla. The village is primarily known for its beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters which are ideal for swimming well into late autumn. In addition, there are numerous nudists. Those who are not fond of the nudist culture, should pay close attention to the appropriately labeled sections of the beach and when in doubt, should drive rather to the next magical bay.
