Trip to Zadar, Croatia
Last summer I spent two wonderful weeks in Zadar, Croatia learning Croatian, meeting amazing people and visiting wonderful places that are very near Zadar.
For the Croatian lessons I attended the Lin-Cro school. We stayed in a house where we could cook and wash our clothes and within walking distance (10 minutes) of the place where we were having the lectures. In the morning we would go to the lectures, and in the afternoon we would go to the beach enjoy the sea and sun while we would do our homework. 
During the course we visited Nin, an important historical city in Croatia, and National Parks Krka and Kornati. Both are amazing places to enjoy a relaxing day and have a swim in a non-usual environment. In Krka you swim by a watefall, and in Kornati you swim by a remote island
To go out in Zadar you can go to The Garden, a lounge bar by the sea on top of the city walls, or if you want a more dynamic ambience you can go to “Medussa” bar on the Kolovare beach (mostly Croatian music), or to “Maraschino” which is between the bridges.
For dinner, we hit several times a little place called “Malo Misto” where you can eat cevapi, another one called “Tu mi je lipo”, another little konoba on tri bunara square (really near The Garden lounge bar), …
While in Zadar don’t miss the monument to the sun, the sea organ, and walking around the city center in the peninsula. After all, most of the city life is around Siroka Ulica, the main street in Zadar
To finish with this little summary of Zadar, I recommend you to take a look at the photos and enjoy the sights of the city and its surroundings.
