Otok Krk

Among the 1185 Croatian islands, only one of them is the golden one, the Insula Aurea - the island of Krk. Located in the centre of the Kvarner bay, it is considered one of the most attractive tourist destinations.
Its mild Mediterranean climate, good geographical position and variety of natural and cultural beauties gave it, even in ancient times, the name "golden island". Its cultural heritage has given it another name - the cradle of Croatian culture, whilst at the beginning of the 20th century it gained the name the "sixth continent".

Literally all roads lead to the island of Krk: from the land - over the Krk bridge; from the sea - by boats into the ports or small marinas, and by ferry to the Valbiska harbour, from the air - by plane to Rijeka's airport which is located close to Omisalj.
The island of Krk is just 30 kilometres away from the city of Rijeka - which is the traffic, business, commercial, university and cultural centre of Kvarner. No matter which road you choose, on your arrival to the island of Krk, you will certainly find that the golden island has been honoured with the uniqueness of variety and is a connection between present and past, modernity and the antiquated, legend and reality.
