One of Zadar's major tourist attractions is the Sea Organ (hur hur). As the name suggests it's an organ which is played by the sea. Under the steps of the promenade are the pipes of the organ; the waves rolling in force air through the pipes to produce music. The frequency of waves determine the tempo and the size of the waves determine the volume.

It's quite soothing to sit on the steps at the sea organ and listen. When a boat goes past it, the music speeds up and it sounds like a bit of a sea jig. Then it all slows down again and it's a bit like a lullaby. We videoed the music so you can enjoy the experience as well.




Our visit to Zadar was part of the Aegean Odyssey. Mum, Dad, Andrew and I spent a few weeks in Croatia and Greece with a quick visit to Slovenia and Austria in the middle. Other entries from this trip include: Blessed are the cheesemakers and Climbing in Croatia.
