Popovići is located in the fertile Ravni Kotari region, the hinterland of Zadar, not far from the town of Benkovac. The settlement is typical of rural Bukovica and provides an insight into traditional life in Dalmatia away from the coast. The landscape is expansive and primarily used for agriculture, with viticulture, olive growing, and fig production playing central roles. The region is known for its rugged beauty and deep-rooted folk culture, reflected in local festivals and customs. Significant archaeological sites like the ancient city of Asseria, once an important Liburnian and Roman center, are located in the immediate vicinity of Popovići. For visitors, the village features an authentic experience of Dalmatian gastronomy, particularly meat dishes and homemade cheese. The proximity to Lake Vrana (Vransko jezero), Croatia's largest lake and a major bird reserve, makes Popovići a good starting point for nature observation. The coastal cities of Zadar and Biograd na Moru are also quickly reachable for day trips.
