We planned and did our own touring in Zadar. There was a shuttle bus took us all the way to the famous Greeting to the Sun and Sea Organ attractions. There were a lot of tourists there, however, we managed to take nice photos and enjoying ourselves. Greeting to the Sun is a giant solar panel design to absorb the sun’s energy by day and then release it in a vidid graphical display as it starts to get dark. We were not there when it gets dark, but it was still beautiful and impressive during the day. Sea Oegan is a unique blend of architecture and music. The sounds that the Sea Organ produces are a result of the release of sea energy, or rather waves and tides. It stretches out over about seventy meters of the Zadar waterfront, below which, at the level of the lowest low tide, 35 pipes of various lengths, diameters and slopes have been installed to create the music of the sea.

Then we walked to Forum which was built by the first Roman Emperor, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian, as witnessed by the stone inscriptions dating back to the 3rd century, when the construction was finished.

Then we strolled along the old town to The Five Wells Square in front of the Queen Jelena Madije Park. It was on a hill, so we could look back on the medieval part of the town and down to the sea.

Then we went to walk on top of the Zadar City Walls. Since 2017, by the decision of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, the famous Zadar city walls that the people of Zadar call Muraj, have been included in the World Heritage Site list. The walls were renewed and revitalized in 2020 with the support of the EU funds. The walls were built in the 12th and 13th centuries, and reinforced in the 16th century for the purpose of the Venetian defense against Turkish conquerors.

Tonight was Azamara’s famous White Night Party. It was held on the pool deck. The White Night Party onboard Azamara is inspired by the glamour and elegance of the French Riviera, with passengers encouraged to dress in all-white attire.There were a lot of good food, nice music and a lot of dancing. It was a pleasant evening party.
