Know before you go

  • If interested, try the well-known Nin cuisine, šokol, a dried meat product made from the neck of pork, preserved in pure sea salt and seasoning. It gets its recognisable taste from a completely unique "ingredient": the bura (north-easterly wind). It carries mountain air enriched with the scents and herbs of Velebit, mixed with the sea air.
