Location
About the surrounding area of Villa BettyVilla Betty is located near Sukosan, a small town located just 10km from the popular town of Zadar. There are five well-known national parks and two nature parks in the area, including Vrana Lake and the National Park Kornati, so lovers of flora and fauna will be in their element. The town of Sukosan only has 3000 inhabitants, but is popular with tourists thanks to its many bars, restaurants and hotels, as well as the private beach which is located on the marina. There are both sandy and pebble beaches in the area, almost all featuring a sandy and shallow bottom. There are safety buoys towards the open sea, and most of the beaches are fully equipped with showers, toilets, and other amenities, making them the perfect choice for families.
Sukosan has a lot to offer in the way of food, and you’ll find plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants and taverns in which to enjoy traditional Dalmatian hospitality. You’ll find plenty to tempt the taste buds here, including a variety of local Dalmatian dishes prepared according to traditional local recipes, such as daily fresh fish dishes, meat specialities, local virgin olive oil, fresh vegetables and homemade wine. If you want to pick up a few things to prepare a meal back at the villa, you’ll find several small supermarkets in the centre of Sukosan, as well as a butcher and several bakeries. If you’re after a slightly wider choice, we recommend heading to Zadar to stock up, as you’ll find larger supermarkets with more variety.
If it’s nightlife you’re after, again, nearby Zadar is where you’ll find more variety and a slightly livelier atmosphere. However, Sukosan does feature several beach cafes where you’ll be able to relax with a few cocktails, and in the summer months some of the bars and cafes feature performances from DJs that go on into the night.

Region
The Zadar region, anchored by the vibrant city of Zadar, boasts a rich history, breathtaking natural beauty, and a cultural tapestry that dates back millennia. Situated along Croatia's stunning Dalmatian coast, and shaped by the dramatic Velebit mountain range, Zadar is a unique destination offering a captivating array of experiences.
Zadar city is known for its ancient Roman ruins, white sand beach, and rugged coastline. Take a wander through the world of the Old Town's labyrinthine streets, which are a wonder to explore, brimming with historical treasures. Make sure to stop at the Church of St. Donatus, an architectural masterpiece and a prominent example of Byzantine construction and one of the most famous pre-Romanesque churches in Croatia.
Zadar's architectural prowess isn't limited to its historical buildings; it also embraces modern art installations. The Sea Organ, designed by architect Nikola Bašić, is an ingenious creation consisting of underwater pipes and chambers that produce hauntingly beautiful sounds as the waves of the Adriatic Sea wash over it. It's a serene place to watch the sunset, often accompanied by an equally impressive light show from the nearby Greeting to the Sun installation, which comes alive with vibrant colours after dusk.
The city's waterfront promenade, dotted with cafes, bars, and restaurants, provides the perfect setting for relaxed evenings. You can pass away the hours while savouring a leisurely meal and enjoying the sea views with watch boats sailing past. Don't forget to sample the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood, pasticada (a traditional beef stew), and the world-famous Pag cheese. Pair your meal with a glass of local wine or rakija, a strong fruit brandy, to complete the culinary experience.
The Zadar region is renowned for its proximity to a collection of stunning islands, each with its own unique character. Ugljan, often referred to as the "Green Island," is known for its lush vegetation and charming fishing villages. The island offers a serene escape from the bustle of city life, with numerous opportunities for hiking, cycling, and exploring unspoiled beaches.
Dugi Otok, or the "Long Island," is a true gem of unspoiled natural beauty. The island is known for its rugged coastline, pristine coves, and the famous Saharun Beach, with its white sands and crystalclear waters. It’s also home to Telascica Nature Park, a protected area that encompasses stunning cliffs, saltwater lakes, and a diverse range of flora and fauna.
Back on the mainland, and just a couple of hours out of the city you’ll find one of the most renowned natural attractions in Croatia, Plitvice Lakes. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the park is a land of cascading waterfalls, interconnected emerald lakes, and lush forests, with a network of well-maintained trails that guide visitors through this natural wonder. Wooden boardwalks allow you to get up close to the waterfalls, making it a family-friendly destination.
The Zadar region offers more than just natural beauty. The local markets, such as Zadar's Green Market, provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in Croatian culture. Here, you can explore stalls filled with fresh produce, local crafts, and artisanal products, experiencing the flavours and craftsmanship of the region. Zadar is also home to a variety of unique traditions and cultural festivals. Local celebrations, like the annual regatta of traditional boats or performances of 'Klapa' a cappella singing are both integral parts of the region's cultural identity.
The Zadar region is a microcosm of Croatia's diverse and enchanting way of life, with something to offer everyone that visits. It's a place where history, nature, and culture converge to create a harmonious and multifaceted destination. Whether you're hiking through national parks, swimming near waterfalls, exploring ancient cities, or savouring traditional cuisine, the Zadar region promises an unforgettable experience for all. To visit Zadar is to step into the heart of Croatia and experience its multifaceted charm.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren staying at Villa Betty will enjoy the space and freedom of a fenced property where they can play and explore while you relax. There is a heated pool that the whole family will enjoy, although parents need to be aware that there is no fence or barrier, so children will need to be well supervised. There’s a small turfed area in the yard with playground equipment that younger children will love; it’s situated away from the pool area so they can play in safety. The town features plenty of family-friendly cafes and restaurants where you’ll find delicious treats to suit most palates, and the beach isn’t too far away!
If you choose to head to nearby Zadar you’ll be able to enjoy a sandy beach, a rare thing in Croatia. A short ferry ride away is Saharun, considered one of the country’s best beaches. It’s white sand and turquoise waters mean this beach is often compared to the Caribbean, although outside of July and August this hidden and unspoilt gem is often deserted - perfect for families with children. A visit to the ‘Monument to the Sun’ is a must if you’re visiting Zadar with the kids. Created by artist Nikola Basic and located on the waterfront, the monument is a 22-metre disc, representing the sun, that soaks up solar rays all day only to dazzle visitors with them in the form of coloured patterns as night falls. There are also smaller discs representing the planets of the solar system, all of which radiate their own shimmering glow. The adjacent art installation, ‘Sea Organ’, is another famous attraction of the area. Formed by cleverly cutting steps into a section of the waterfront promenade, these underwater pipes produce musical notes when filled with water, creating a haunting harmonica effect.
