Sukosan - Marina Dalamacija

Sukosan, is located on the Zadarski Channel, south of Zadar on the wide, natural bay Zlatna Luka. The entrance is protected on both sides by piers. In the north of the bay is the largest marina in Croatia, Marina Dalmacija with 1200 berths and all services around the ship. The entrance lies to the west of the crescent-shaped island with the bathing beach. In the northwest of the marina area are the jetties for the charter ships, private ships and guests are moored in the east, north of the island. The harbormaster distributes the places - stern to the jetty and in front the mooring line. Northeast of the marina and north of the jetty in front of the old town are moorings. The old town of Sukošan is located in the southeast of the bay on the small peninsula, here you can moor at the long pier with stern anchor. The landmark of Sukošan is the ruins of the archiepiscopal summer residence Palac, which was built at the end of the 15th century in the middle of Zlatna Luka (Golden Harbour) on an artificially raised island. Other sights include the church (17th century) in the old town of Sukošan directly opposite the town gate Gornja Vrata. Many other ruins indicate that the bay of Zlatna Luka was a popular place already in Roman times: ruins of the rustic villa of Barbir visible in the water, an Illyrian fortress in Vrčevo and the old Roman water pipes.  The place was first mentioned in writing in 1289.
