A real tourist champion
The island of Vir deserves our congratulations – it is a real tourist champion!
Statistics have shown double bed nights in this island, even in pre-season, while record increase in domestic guests is also recorded.
It is a result of wise usage of tourist potentials and well organised promotion, both in domestic and foreign market that launched one of 300 islets of Zadar’s archipelago straight into the starry sky of the most desirable destinations.
But, Vir won’t stop here – construction of new hotel facilities is being considered, as well as fantastic initiative for opening a university centre, which would, by dislocating certain studies from the nearby Zadar, include Vir in educational-scientific flow and encourage its excellent development!
This destination has begun its tourist story as an excellent destination for family vacation, due to its beautiful beaches enriched with whole-day animations.
Wide choice of suitable contents ensures constant entertainment, specially appreciated by the young ones!
But not only light forms of recreation are available here; there is also a great offer of active vacation for the demanding ones – during the whole year!
EVENTS, SPORT ACTIVITIES AND RECREATION
Sport activities enthusiasts can participate in serious competitions like Vir’s marathons, cycling races and sailing regattas, and in very joyful quarter finals of Adriatic Games, on 11th August. For those who are creative we recommend photo workshops at the beginning and the end of July.
It is also necessary to mention Vir’s Night (13th August), Vir’s Festivity (29th of August), that unite all the people, no matter the preferences, in a carefree summer party.
ELITE TOURISM
Vir gave its special contribution to domestic elite tourism, with attractive historical building redecorated in exclusive complex for guests, which is possible to rent only as a whole.
Off course, it is the famous lighthouse from 1881!It is located in a solitary place, with its own attractive beach and whole range of exclusive contents – from ordering food from top-quality local restaurant, to hiring Dalmatian klapa for better dinner atmosphere.
It has brought to Vir a scent of luxury and modern, very personalised approach to guests.
