Although summer is heading towards its end on the calendar, September is a beautiful month in which you can enjoy in many activities, which you missed due to heat or crowds in the peak of summer. The temperatures may be a few degrees lower, but again it is warm enough to explore the beautiful beaches and sights that the Zadar area has to offer.

Accommodation prices are a bit cheaper in this period and it is easier to find villa that suits you due to reduced demand. However, don’t procrastinate with your decision because this year, due to the more favorable epidemiological situation, everyone wants to go on vacation in September.

OPEN DAYS OF THE SALT PANS, 11.06.-16.09.2021

Nin Saltworks opens its doors every year in June, April and August and a few days in September in order to bring visitors closer to the true story of the formation of white gold in a natural way.

Nin Saltworks is the only ecological saltworks on the Adriatic Sea; collects salt in open salt fields by filling swimming pools with sea water in the spring, water evaporates in late spring and early summer, and sea salt remains at the bottom, which is "picked" by hand. Salt flower - a fine crystal remains on the surface of the sea as a thin layer of flower petals and unlike ordinary salt, is harvested early in the morning or late in the evening when there is no wind. Thus hand-picked salt is the healthiest because it contains iodine of seaweed, minerals and vitamins. The Nin salt flower is also called "salt caviar" and "white gold". The product is of top quality and gourmet taste, delicate, fluffy and crystalline structure. It is specific that the salt flower is not used in the cooking process, but at the very end as the last step just before serving the dish.
