Barkajoli, the Rowing Boatmen of Zadar
From early morning to late evening, the Barkajoli take passengers and tourists with a little rowing boat across the Zadar peninsula to mainland and back, thus cultivating, according to some daring explorers, a 3,000-year-old tradition.
The walk that ends on the city walls continues at the other end of the city port, and the easiest and shortest way to get to the other side is to use the service of Zadar Barkajoli. Since the 14th century, these persevering guardians of tradition have been carrying passengers over in small boats in all weathers. Tradition is passed down from father to son, from one generation to another.
