A family affair

After a full night’s rest in a comfortable Krk Island holiday apartment, catch an adrenaline rush driving up a twisting hillside to its peak and sail down a mountain on a zipline tour. Or enjoy a quirkier journey to Vrbnik and let your kids have a laugh as you pretend to get stuck in the narrowest street in the world. Leave the baby buggies at home, it’s a tight squeeze! Next, take a break from the heat in Baska’s air-conditioned aquarium and learn about the native fish of Croatia, as well as seahorses, sharks and manta-rays. Head to Soline bay to find a sandy beach with healing mud baths and shallow water suitable for children and non-swimmers.

Discover the cultural heritage of Krk island

Krk is overflowing with rich historical heritage to explore. Rent a Krk holiday apartment in the small village of Baska with your friends, family, and pets and take foot to the winding cobbled streets between the eye-catching old stone houses. Tour the Frankopan castle, built by the Frankopan noble family in the 12th century, and wander the spacious castle interior. Head to the oldest settlement on the island Vrbnik to taste the local white wine žlahtina known for its mineral characters and grown only in the eastern centre of the island. Take a taxi boat from Punat harbour and explore the ancient Košljun Franciscan Monastery on the tiny island of Punat.

Getting there

Affordable flights, buses, and trains are all available from main airports in the U.K. to Croatia’s third largest city of Rijeka, located just a 40 kilometre drive across a bridge from the city of Krk and the Krk island holiday apartment that awaits you. Although there are direct flights from major European cities directly to Krk airport, named Rijeka Airport, there are other, less expensive modes of transport to the island. Rental cars are available in the city of Rijeka, as well as a bus that will take you directly to Krk’s city centre. For those visitors with higher travel budgets, boat charters are also available to and from the island.

An all season getaway

Summer on Krk is bustling with visitors due to the perfect blue skies and sun-kissed beaches between late spring and the end of summer, but equally delightful is an autumn holiday in a Krk island holiday apartment: explore the city on two wheels by renting a bicycle and feel the crisp breeze blowing through your hair, or enjoy a secluded beach on a romantic off-season getaway followed by a candle-lit dinner in your Krk holiday home. In the month of September, catch the city's hiking campaign "I love autumn on Krk" and join in on one of the many guided hiking tours. Adrenaline junkies flock to Krk in October to join in on the 40 kilometre bicycle marathon through the winding mountains and trails of Krk's stoic mountainside. The serenity found on Krk island all throughout the year keeps visitors heading back to this destination time and time again.

A glance of history and mystery

After visiting the Frankopan castle, go down to the promenade and savour a meal at one of the restaurants and cafes. Trek along the beach and set your sights on the harrowing stone slopes above for a view the Church of St. John the Baptist, a small yellow church lush with cultural legacy. Parts of the promenade here are accessible to wheelchairs. Next, treat your eyes to the painted ceilings of the parish Church of Assumption of the Virgin Mary, or get your feet wet renting a pedal-boat at Zgribnica beach just a ten minute walk from the town’s centre. Summer events include concerts, folklore festivals, and literary evenings. For the eternal art lovers visiting Vrbnik, several art galleries in Vrbnik’s Old Town feature seasonal exhibitions. Festive live music echoes throughout the town in Škujica square where the locals dance the evening away as the sun sets over the town.
