Famous for its 24 islands and around 300 islets and rocks, Zadar, Croatia, has become world famous for an instrument that plays experimental music using the waves of the sea.
280 kilometers from Zagreb, the Croatian capital, this destination with three thousand years of history and medieval architecture surprises with its modern “Sea Organ” (Pride of Morskein Croatian language).
The installation is the work of Croatian architect Nikola Bašić and produces sound according to the movement of sea water, in pipes installed under the marble steps of the city’s waterfront, on the shores of the Adriatic Sea.

The “Sea Organ” is located next to another modern attraction of Zadar, the “Greeting to the Sun” (Pozdrav suncu, in Croatian).
The installation consists of 300 glass panels on photovoltaic solar modules that capture the sun’s energy during the day and transform it into electricity that will turn on the attraction’s lights at night.
The work, also by Bašić, symbolizes communication with nature.
Late afternoon in Zadar is very popular and director Alfred Hitchcock even classified the local sunset as the most beautiful in the world.

But that’s not all in this fascinating country, between Slovenia and Bosnia, in the Balkans.
In Plitvice Lakes National Park, everywhere you look, there is a waterfall.
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Plitvice Lakes National Park, its original name in Croatian, is the first and largest national park in this Eastern European country.
It is like walking on a huge green carpet cut out of natural steps where waterfalls of all sizes flow. They seem to be one, divided into tongues of water, but there are dozens of them, falling into the Korana River, at different levels.
The site is known for its sequence of 16 lakes connected by waterfalls, where visitors walk on wooden walkways that span the lakes, ride on trains at different levels of the park, and can take small boats that make short trips between the lakes.
The highlight is Veliki Slap (“Great Waterfall” in Portuguese), a 78-meter-high waterfall, considered the largest in Croatia.
