Situated in Kvarner Bay, the island of Krk is the largest of the Adriatic islands and is accessible from the mainland by bridge and by ferry. Known in ancient times as Insula Aurea (Golden Island) due to the richness of produce from the land and the sea, the island has many speciality foods. Local fish, lamb, cheese, olive oil, prosciutto ham and Vrbnička Žlahtina wine can all be found on Krk’s menus.

The walled city is a spellbinding blend of ancient and new. Amidst a labyrinth of narrow, cobbled streets gorgeous medieval castles and cathedral vie for attention with a bustling harbour, shops and restaurants. As well as the fascinating old town to explore, excursions run to neighbouring islands from its pretty, waterside location. In summer the town hosts a festival of cultural activities including concerts, plays and exhibitions.
