Preko
This Dalmatian village on the island of Ugljan sits opposite Zadar in northern Croatia, with an old centre of patrician summer houses and a café and restaurant scene that would suit a town twice its size. Several historic churches add to the architectural interest, and the island's mountain terrain offers scenic viewpoints across the surrounding waters. UNESCO World Heritage sites are within reach in the wider region.
