Quick ride by bicycle from Zadar to Nin

Set off from the historic seaside town of Zadar, famous for its impressive Roman and Venetian ruins, along with the unique Sea Organ that plays music with the movement of the waves. You’ll pedal north along a peaceful 18.5 km route to the ancient town of Nin.

Most of your ride is along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so you can really relax and soak in the Dalmatian coastal scenery. There’s just enough gentle climbing to work up an appetite—about 100 meters' worth—but overall it’s smooth rolling and even a bit of downhill as you approach Nin. Expect stretches where the path surface is a bit of a mystery (adventure mode on!), but most of the way you’ll enjoy well-maintained asphalt.

When you arrive, take some time to explore Nin’s tiny, island-like old town, famous for its centuries-old salt pans and the world’s “smallest cathedral.” Perfect for a half-day ride with plenty of coastal vibes and photo stops along the way!
