Hotel Zora

Northern Dalmatia


One of the few hotels in Primošten itself, this 324-room complex, almost lost amid the trees of a small promontory a short walk from town, has direct access to a marvellous pebble beach. Rooms are a little in need of updating, but almost all have balconies, and facilities are well maintained. The view of the old town from the beach is superb.
