Rovanjska is located at the very end of the Velebit Canal, at the very foot of the Velebit slopes, where the continental and Mediterranean climates come together and the shoreline is framed by the crystal clear Adriatic sea.

This natural legacy has marked for centuries the lives of its inhabitants, whether they have made a living from growing crops on the Velebit slopes, livestock, or fruits of the sea.

Rovanjska today offers its guests a quiet corner of untouched nature on the one hand, and an active and vibrant nightlife on the other.

The exact year Rovanjska was founded („in Rawna“) is not known, but it certainly dates from the early Middle Ages, as seen by the town's historical, Old-Croatian church, Saint George (built between the ninth and eleventh centuries)

One more attraction of this coastal town is the unique speleological discovery: The Modric Cave!

Rovanjska is located just off the Zagreb-Split highway, at the Maslenica exit, just a few hundred meters northwest from the toll booths. This accessibility allows for a quick and safe connection between Rovanjska and all other destinations in the area.

The town offers several grocery and general goods stores, restaurants, and coffee houses, as well as a large number of private apartments for rent.

In a gorgeous bay just 1 kilometer north of Rovanjska toward Rijeka is the small village of Modric.

Right at the entrance into Modric, on the eastern side, there is a sweet water lake which is unusual for its depth, several dozens of meters into the earth's core. The exact depth is not known because it has not been explored completely, so it presents a challenge to the braver diving and underwater cave enthusiasts.

Zadar is an ancient Mediterranean port city. The old town, surrounded by walls and towers on a peninsula, with a new, urban part is connected by a bridge, a symbol of the city.

Built on Roman urban principles, where there are several major longitudinal streets traversed by a greater number of latitudinal streets, give the city a rectangular shape. The old town is a treasure trove of archaeological treasures and monuments to the ancient, medieval and Renaissance periods. This is visible by a number of sacral and architectural monuments – the church of sv. Donat [St. Donatus] where every summer the sounds of Zadar's musical evenings echo, the Roman Forum near the main square, Kalelarga - the longest and widest street, the Cathedral of sv. Stošije [St. Anastasia], an Archaeological Museum with its exceptional treasures and many other monuments of cultural and historical heritage (town gate, Arsenal, churches, museums...).

In a city with the most beautiful sunset, in a maritime archipelago facing a multitude of islands and islets, which protect the city from the strong winds, enjoy the symphony of the Sea Organ and magical urban light installation Pozdrav suncu [Greeting the Sun] near the new harbour for cruise ships.

Zadar is a powerful cultural and economic city whose life is comfortable all year round, but shows all its splendour in the summer. Visit the traditional events or contemporary events like the full moon nights, Zadar dreams, Millennium jump, Kalelarga art... Enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine, taste the sweet Maraschino cherry liqueur, and take a swim from one of the sandy beaches in the Zadar area!
