Later, arrive in Zadar and set out on a guided walking tour through the atmospheric Old Town. Admire Roman columns and gateways, beautiful churches, baroque palaces and Renaissance buildings. The tour concludes at the Sea Organ, an architectural sound installation powered by sea waves and tubes beneath the marble steps.

Your ship moors near to the town overnight, meaning you can enjoy dinner in one of the local restaurants.
