      Toller Urlaub
      Super schöner Garten. Toller Pool. Auch die Outdoorküche war sehr praktisch.
      Strände direkt im Ort nicht so schön. Dafür in den angrenzenden Städten schöne Strände.

      Great vacation
      We were able to move into our apartment at 11am instead of 2pm and were greeted with cold drinks. The apartment was very clean, the furnishings matched the pictures, the landlords were very nice and accommodating. Especially the grandmother. Bakery, restaurants, supermarket and cafes are within a few minutes' walk. We were thrilled by the view from the large terrace to the sea with a view of the ruins in the sea. We will be back.

      I found my stay very successful
      the offer turned out to be very attractive both in terms of finance and tourism. The area met our expectations - beach, palm trees, shops, restaurants. I recommend Sukosan (Zadar) as a vacation destination.

      We were greeted on arrival by a super nice landlord. Despite very little English and no Croatian we could communicate. The entire object deserves its stars. Very clean and everything as in the photos. A small vegetable garden and apple trees are also available. 2 cars had their place on the property and a dog could move freely because everything is fenced. Close to the beach, eating and a small shop within walking distance. City center rather by car.
      The long beach has many large stones (we are then to the children's beach gravel and sand) and was unfortunately overlooked by the sea urchins. But who is there by car to the children's beach.
