Looking for more options? Try Zadar, on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast—a direct flight from Paris to Zagreb. The port city of Zadar is 120 miles from Zagreb and has medieval architecture and Roman ruins that are still unknown to many—which means lower prices. But the cobblestoned streets won’t be empty for long: three Brits have opened the Garden (Bedemi Zadarski; 385-23/250-631; thegardenzadar.com), an outdoor club that hosts a music festival every July. Book a furnished apartment through the travel agency Adriatic.hr (385-21/456-456; adriatic.hr; studio apartments from $400 a week). Or charter a gulet, a two-masted wooden sailboat that accommodates 8–16 passengers (Feral Tours, 6 Trg Kneza Viseslava, Zadar; 385-23/312-425; exclusivetravelcroatia.com; rentals from $900 a week). At Kornati National Park (zadar.hr; tours from $55, including lunch), you can explore hidden coves and almost 100 sun-drenched islands.
