Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Zadar has a rich 3,000-year-old history and a vibrant old town. We are within driving distance of four national parks (Paklenica, Krka, Plitvice, Kornati and Telascica) and we partner with many day tours you can book at a very reduced price (this option is only available to our volunteers). The local islands offer stunning nature, and are accessible by cheap local ferries year-round. We are more than happy to help you discover the rich culture and nature of the Zadar region by answering your questions and helping you plan day trips, walking tours of the Old Town, island visits, hikes in Velebit National Park, museum visits, etc. We are our ourselves huge nature lovers and have explored many of the off-the-beaten trails/archeological sites in Zadar, on the local islands, and in the nearby Velebit National Park - we're happy to give you all the info we've picked up ourselves.
