Market Review — Zadar
Zadar blends ancient Roman heritage with modern Croatian beach culture. The city's Old Town, Borik, and surrounding islands offer diverse property types from apartments to villas. Zadar's airport serves numerous European budget carriers, supporting growing tourism. Rental yields of 5-7% are achievable, with the added benefit of prices still well below Dubrovnik or Split levels.
