Right in front of it there is the monument of Knez Branimir of Nin, greeting visitors with his raised sword. Walking through the ancient alleys of the city, one discovers many things worth seeing and countless beautiful details to photograph.

Beach Ždrijac is the closest beach to Villa Hetti
The sandbar of the beach Ždrijac has an unusual shape and seems to embrace the old town of Nin on the island. The beach is ideal for swimming in the sea for children, adults and lovers of adrenaline sports. Thanks to favorable winds it has become a popular center for those who love windsurfing and kitesurfing as a form of active tourism. For beginners and those who want to renew their sports skills, water sports schools are organized here. When the wind appears, which is present almost every day in the lagoon, dragons quickly decorate the sky above the old town on the island, so the view looks like a game while passionate fans of increasingly popular hang gliding enjoy their stunts, walkers enjoy the view and photographers create exceptional photographs.
