About Petrčane

Petrčane

Petrčane, a charming 900-year-old fisherman's village nestled on the Zadar Riviera, is a hidden coastal gem in northern Dalmatia, Croatia. Known for its relaxed, Mediterranean ambiance, pristine pebble beaches, and fragrant pine forests, Petrčane offers a picturesque layout framed by two tranquil peninsulas: Punta Radman and Punta Skala. It serves as a peaceful coastal haven that perfectly pairs relaxing seaside views with rich cultural traditions.

Travel

Petrčane is highly accessible for international and domestic attendees via Zadar Airport (ZAD), located approximately 24 kilometers away. The drive from the airport to the heart of the village takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes. Travelers can easily navigate to the venue using taxis, private door-to-door transfers, or car rentals. Additionally, regional bus lines operate regularly connecting Zadar's central station directly to Petrčane. The village's strategic location also provides convenient day-trip access to the historic old town of Zadar (just 12 km away) and the ancient royal city of Nin.
