Vinjerac

Vinjerac is a small coastal village tucked at the entrance to the Novigrad Sea, north of Zadar and beneath the slopes of Velebit, and reaching it after a flight is more of a puzzle than the short distance suggests. Buses to this part of the region are sparse and mostly seasonal, they keep to the main road rather than the lanes down to the bay, and they will not bring you to the door of your accommodation. A private transfer arranged in advance settles the journey in one fixed-price ride, with a driver who takes you all the way there.

Getting to and from Vinjerac

Zadar Airport is the nearest airport to Vinjerac and the natural point of arrival for visitors heading this way. With a private transfer your driver tracks your flight, so an early landing or a delay does not affect the pick-up. They meet you in arrivals with a name sign, help with the luggage and bring you to a reserved vehicle, so you skip the taxi rank and any doubt about the fare. The price is agreed when you book and paid by card, with no meter and nothing to negotiate at the roadside.

Set where the channel opens into the Novigrad Sea, Vinjerac is well placed for door-to-door journeys around the area. We can take you into Zadar, on to neighbouring villages such as Posedarje and Ražanac, or towards Starigrad-Paklenica and the foot of the Velebit mountains, all arranged around your own timing. The return trip to the airport works in exactly the same easy way.

About Vinjerac

Vinjerac is a quiet fishing village at the mouth of the Novigrad Sea, the large sheltered bay that reaches inland from the coast north of Zadar. With the calm waters of the bay in front and the Velebit massif rising behind, it has an attractive setting and the unhurried atmosphere of a small, traditional Dalmatian community rather than a resort.

That combination of sheltered sea and mountain backdrop is the heart of its appeal. The village is peaceful and low-key, yet within easy reach of Zadar, the other settlements around the Novigrad Sea, and the gateway to Paklenica National Park. For travellers who want somewhere calm and scenic to stay, Vinjerac makes a restful base in this corner of North Dalmatia.
