My friends and I (mid-60s) are traveling to Croatia in May 2026 for 14 days. We're flying into Pula and out of Dubrovnik.
We're thinking of stopping in Zadar for a few days on our way to Dubrovnik. We'd like to find a place north of Zadar that would be quicker to get to (from Pula). We're interested in history, architecture and food!
Any suggestions on where to stop in-between Pula and Zadar?

How are you traveling--public transport or rental car?
Have you determined how long yo will spend in Pula, Zadar, and Dubrovnik?
Early or late May?
Opatija is the obvious choice -- I found it a pleasant stopover. I have also stayed in neighboring Lovran.
It is also possible to go this route by sea--I posted the schedule in a thread yesterday.
