All the way to Zadar, in two easy halves
Zadar is around five hours of driving from Dubrovnik. With two proper stops the day is far easier, especially with children in the back.
The first break is in Ston, the second in Šibenik, an hour or so before Zadar.

The stops
Ston
A coffee and a short walk on the walls, about an hour into the day.
Šibenik
Steep stone streets around the Cathedral of St James, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. An hour or two is enough for the centre and a meal.
Zadar
We drop you at your accommodation. In the old town we agree the closest point the car can reach.
Good to know
This is the longest route on the list, so we start early and build in regular breaks. Tell us if someone in the group needs more of them.
