However, Nin is not only a hNinoric town. Together with its
surroundings, Nin offers excellent opportunities for vacations and recreation,
especially for health tourism. Around Nin are several long sand lagoons, far
from the crowd, traffic connections and industrial zones, with outstanding
microclimatic conditions. The shallow sea, indented into the mainland, has a
temperature 2 or 3 °C higher than the open sea. Salinity and aerosol are also
higher. The seawater is very clear and clean (due to shallowness there is almost
no maritime traffic). Here are also the largest deposits of medicinal mud
(peloid) on the Adriatic. Peloid has been used for medicinal purposes from the
Roman times. There is a small out-patient department and rehabilitation programs
in the summer months are offered in the open.
Numerous restaurants and
taverns offer specialities of both domestic and international cuisine. Sports
and recreational opportunities include also sports fishing and hunting. The art
gallery "Viseslav" organizes exhibitions of well-known Croatian painters and
artNins throughout the year. Entertainment programs are organized in the summer
months.
North of Nin (13 km) is the islet of Zecevo, separated from the
mainland by a shallow gulch, which may be crossed on foot at low ebb.
Monks-hermits built a small church on the islet and dedicated it to Our Lady of
Zecevo. In 1500 the Turks put the church and the monastery on fire. A legend has
it that they threw the -statue of Our Lady into the sea. However, the statue
reached the shores of Nin. This event has been commemorated on the 5th of May
every year when the statue of Our Lady is taken to Zecevo.
NIN, a coastal town in the
southern
part of the Nin Bay on the Zdrijac peninsula, 17 km north of Zadar. It
developed on a low alluvial peninsula, which was converted into an islet
by a canal dug in the 14th century; connected with the mainland
by small bridges. Economy is based on farming, growing of vines, olives and fruit,
fishing and tourism. Nin lies on the regional road.
