About Island Krk
As one of the largest and most accessible Croatian islands, Krk has long been a favorite for both local and international visitors. Connected to the mainland by a bridge and hosting its own airport, the island combines convenience with rich cultural and natural experiences. Its history stretches back to ancient times — from Roman ruins and medieval castles to Glagolitic inscriptions and early Christian churches. The town of Krk, the island’s namesake, is a charming coastal settlement with narrow stone streets, lively cafés, and a scenic waterfront promenade.
But Krk is more than just history. The island offers diverse landscapes: rocky coves and turquoise bays in the south, forested hiking trails and wine-growing hills in the interior, and sandy beaches near towns like Baška and Njivice. Active travelers can enjoy cycling, sailing, diving, or exploring Vrbnik, a cliffside village famous for its Žlahtina wine. Meanwhile, gastronomy lovers can indulge in homemade olive oil, island lamb, and fresh seafood at traditional taverns scattered across Krk.
Whether you’re seeking a cultural escape, seaside relaxation, or outdoor adventure, Krk offers something for every type of traveler — all within easy reach of the mainland.
