Tour Details
Golden Island of Krk
Of the 1185 Croatian islands, only one is referred to as the golden one, the Insula Aurea - the island of Krk. In ancient times, it earned the title of Golden Island due to the abundance of sunshine hours, and rich and fertile soil; today, you might hear some refer to it as the island of sunshine and wine.
Located in the center of the Kvarner Bay, a bay in the northern Adriatic Sea, the island of Krk is the largest island in Croatia and considered by many as the most attractive of them all. 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, while at the beginning of the 20th century it gained the name the "sixth continent." Discover the island and uncover its charms and treasures; cruise through its beautiful and varied landscapes, visit thousand-year-old monuments and towns, visit small rural villages and secluded swimming bays.
Breathe in the feeling of wellbeing while walking along the romantic pathways by the sea or along the wild shepherd's rock paths. Enjoy the magical tastes of Krk cuisine including pork steaks in wine, baked charcoal octopus, and plenty of home-made wine and cheese.
