What you should know…
- There are no ferries connecting Krk to the mainland. You can travel between by car, so it’s important to make sure you rent one in advance especially in the busier months.
- When out and about exploring the historic and cultural areas of the city, make sure you cover your shoulders, chest and knees. Otherwise, you might not get access to some of these special places and they’re definitely worth it.
- Remember Krk is one of the more popular Croatian islands. If you’re looking for total seclusion, you could consider another island, but we love the serenity of the villa which you can always retreat to when you want to feel totally at one with Croatia.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ValentKrk has a reputation for being Croatia's sunniest island. It's the golden island's moniker, which tells you all you need to know. But it's not just the beautiful weather that illuminates this island. It's also a vibrant tourist hot spot. Although it's an island, it's connected to the mainland by a bridge, giving it an interesting feel.
As you might expect, having chosen to stay on an island, there are many beaches to enjoy. Croatia is not known for its sandy beaches, but Sveti Marak, located around a fifteen-minute walk away, is a fantastic option if you haven't packed your swim shoes! With a beach bar and grill, you can also enjoy delicious meals as a group. There are many bars and cafes in Malinska and the old town of Krk city, which is a thousand years old and a 20-minute drive away at most.
The charm of the area is its calm. You can find a typical example of this by heading to Brzac, a 30-minute drive away. There are other gorgeous places to explore, such as Baska village, which has been described as having an "end-of-the-world" feeling – perfect for those seeking surreal solitude. In Punat, you'll find the miniature island of Kosljun. Head to Vrbnik to take in the vineyards of the area.

Region
Krk, the largest island in the Kvarner Gulf, offers visitors an enchanting blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture. This island paradise, with its captivating landscapes, historic towns, and warm Mediterranean climate, has rightly earned its reputation as one of Croatia's top tourist destinations.
Krk's rugged and diverse geography is a significant part of its appeal. The island boasts a picturesque coastline with countless coves, bays, and pristine beaches to explore. For those looking to relax and unwind, Krk’s beautiful, serene beaches Baska Beach and Malinska Beach are perfect spots to unwind. The calm, crystal-clear waters and warm sun provide an ideal setting for a peaceful day by the sea.
The Adriatic Sea provides the perfect playground for water sports enthusiasts - kayaking, windsurfing and jet-skiing are all popular activities around the island. The crystal-clear waters are also perfect for snorkelling and diving. Many tour operators on the island offer family-friendly excursions where you can explore the underwater world and observe marine life together. Krk also has several marinas, making it a popular stop for sailors and boaters exploring the Adriatic.
Krk’s landscape also includes lush greenery and rolling hills, ideal for hiking and cycling. Numerous bike paths and trails wind through the miles of untouched nature. Whether you're an experienced cyclist or a novice, you can explore the island at your own pace or join one of the many bike tours on offer, enjoying the fresh air and breathtaking scenery. The serene countryside offers splendid vistas, and the scents of Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and lavender fill the air.
The city of Krk, the island's main hub, is a charming blend of history and modernity. The well-preserved ancient city walls and medieval architecture are a testament to its storied past. One of the most iconic landmarks is the Frankopan Castle, a magnificent fortress that dates back to the 12th century. The island also boasts numerous churches and chapels, including the Cathedral of St. Mary, which features Romanesque and Gothic elements, and the small church of St. Donatus, one of the oldest on the island.
Krk's culinary scene is a rooted in the Croatian lifestyle, emphasising locally sourced ingredients and flavours. The island's cuisine is known for its use of olive oil, fresh seafood, and an array of herbs. In the picturesque towns and villages, you'll find cozy family-run restaurants and taverns offering hearty traditional dishes like "šurlice," a homemade pasta, and "pašticada," a slow-cooked beef stew. The island is also renowned for its sheep cheese, such as “šur", and the exceptional local wine "Žlahtina," which pairs perfectly with the island’s fresh seafood. Dining in a konoba, a traditional Croatian tavern, allows you to savour the essence of Krk's cuisine while enjoying the warm hospitality of the locals.
While Krk itself has so much to offer, it also serves as a gateway to explore the wider Kvarner region and the nearby islands. A short ferry ride connects Krk to Cres, Rab, and other smaller islands, each with their own unique charm and attractions. The proximity to the mainland makes it easy to embark on day trips to cities like Rijeka and Opatija, famous for their historic architecture and buzzing cultural scenes.
Krk offers a diverse range of experiences for travellers seeking natural beauty, history, culture, and delicious cuisine. With its rich history, warm hospitality, and breathtaking landscapes, Krk has rightfully earned its place as one of Croatia's top tourist destinations. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or a cultural experience, this “Golden Island” island has it all.
