您的扎达尔机场租车指南
Written by Aaron, Avax Rent a Car
扎达尔机场 (ZAD) 位于 Zemunik Donji 村附近，距扎达尔市中心以东约 12 公里。近年来，它已迅速发展成为一个受欢迎的低成本航空公司目的地，瑞安航空、易捷航空、欧洲之翼航空等公司运营着来自欧洲各地的直飞航班。紧凑的航站楼使抵达和离开成为一种快速、轻松的体验。
Avax 在扎达尔机场提供航站楼内的迎接服务——没有单独的租赁办公室可步行前往，也没有穿梭巴士。您的航班降落后，请通过 WhatsApp 联系 Andro 警官，电话号码是 +385 99 616 3762；他会在抵达区与您会面，交接钥匙，车辆就停在外面。从那里，沿着 D424 公路向西行驶 15 分钟即可到达扎达尔历史悠久的老城区。老城区坐落在一个狭窄的半岛上，以海风琴而闻名，这是一种独特的装置，通过海浪的运动创造音乐，还有太阳致敬，这是一种壮观的灯光装置，在日落时观看效果最佳。
扎达尔地理位置优越，非常适合探索达尔马提亚北部。科尔纳提群岛国家公园是一个由 89 个原始岛屿组成的群岛，可以从穆尔特（1 小时车程）乘船抵达。普利特维采湖国家公园位于东北方向约 2 小时车程处。对于海滩爱好者来说，杜吉奥托克岛上的 Saharun 海滩一直被评为克罗地亚最美丽的海滩之一，可以从扎达尔港乘渡轮抵达。
Nearby Attractions
扎达尔老城
一个拥有3000年历史的半岛城镇，拥有罗马遗址、9世纪的圣多纳图斯教堂、海风琴和太阳致敬。据报道，阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克曾说扎达尔拥有世界上最美丽的日落。
十六湖国家公园
克罗地亚的瑰宝，一个被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产的由16个碧绿湖泊和无数瀑布组成的网络。从扎达尔出发，这是一次完美的短途旅行，有足够的时间走完主要的小径。
科尔纳蒂群岛国家公园
一个由89个岛屿和小岛组成的迷人群岛，以其壮丽的悬崖、清澈的海水和非凡的海洋生物多样性而闻名。从穆尔泰尔或比奥格勒乘船游览是最佳选择。
帕克莱尼察国家公园
位于韦莱比特山脉的一个壮丽峡谷公园，以攀岩、徒步旅行和地下隧道网络而闻名。大帕克莱尼察和小帕克莱尼察峡谷非常壮观。
Driving Tips
A1高速公路可轻松从扎达尔机场抵达，向北连接萨格勒布，向南连接斯普利特。若要沿海岸线前往希贝尼克或斯普利特，D8公路可欣赏美丽海景，但车速较慢且弯道较多。扎达尔老城区停车位有限；请使用陆地之门附近的Fosa停车场或巴士站附近的大型露天停车场。老城区内的路边停车需在报刊亭购买停车票或使用mParking短信系统支付。
Our Zadar office is well-connected to local neighbourhoods including Bili Brig, Borik, Diklo, Stanovi, Arbanasi, making it easy to reach your accommodation or explore the city and its surroundings.
