What Zadar costs
Croatia is in the eurozone — the single biggest line item in Zadar isn't the bed or the meal, it's the Kornati trip.
- Hostel
- €13–30 per person
- 3-star hotel
- €40–47
- Main course, restaurant
- €16.50–24
Croatia uses the euro, with no currency conversion needed. The single biggest item in Zadar is the Kornati trip, €60–65 (full-day tour incl. park entrance) per person, more than the bed or a single restaurant meal. Everything else sits in the range typical of a mid-sized Dalmatian town.
