Why Petrčane Is the Perfect Base for Your Dalmatian Holiday

Petrčane is a quiet fishing village just 15 minutes from Zadar — beaches right outside your apartment, great restaurants, and a dozen day trips within reach.

Petrčane is a quiet fishing village tucked into Zadar Bay, just 15 minutes from the city. It's the kind of place where you wake up to the sound of the sea, can swim before breakfast, and still explore some of the best sights in Dalmatia by evening.

Calm, But Close to Everything

Petrčane has fewer than 600 permanent residents and a genuinely unhurried, friendly atmosphere. At the same time, Zadar is minutes away and the surrounding area — Nin, Zaton, Kornati — is all within easy reach.

The Sea, Right Outside

The beaches in Petrčane are natural, pebbly and rocky — the kind that form crystal-clear water and are perfect for snorkelling. You walk straight from the apartment terrace to the sea. For a sandy beach, Zaton is just five minutes away by car.

Food & Atmosphere

As a fishing village, Petrčane has fresh seafood, local olive oil and good Dalmatian wine close at hand. There are well-regarded restaurants within walking distance, perfect for a relaxed evening dinner.

What You Can Do

• Swimming and snorkelling directly from the apartment
• Water sports, tennis, cycling along the coast
• Day trips to national parks and nearby islands
• Evening walks along the seafront
• Day trips to Zadar for culture, food and the Sea Organ

Three Apartments, One Location

PikhArt Apartments sit right on the waterfront in Petrčane. Choose from three apartments — Wild, Metropolitan and Marine — or book the whole house for larger groups. All have direct sea access from the terrace.
