What to do on the island of Krk
On the island of Krk, there are numerous sightseeing possibilities. The old city walls of Krk are the third-largest in Croatia! They must be seen, along with the Frankopan fortress, the Old City Hall, and the Krk Cathedral!
The Biserujka cave is a geological attraction and a lovely site to explore for anyone interested in adventurous activities.
Following the Glagolitic Path of Baška is truly a one of a kind activity! Glagolitic is an early Slavic script that flourished on Krk as early as the Middle Ages, and the oldest document referring to Croatia may be found in Baška on Krk.
A set of 34 sculptures, each representing a Glagolitic alphabet letter, has been designed and installed on the island of Krk to promote this historical fact, and you could be walking right next to them on your Croatian summer vacation!
Baška Aquarium is one of Croatia's top aquariums, with a diverse collection of sea creatures, fish, snails, mussels, and seahorses!
Then spend a day at either sandy Baška Beach or Vela Beach. You can also head to Meline beach for a mud bath, which is unique to the island of Krk, before enjoying a fantastic supper in one of Krk's best restaurants!
Krk delicacies
As an Adriatic island, Krk's diet is the Mediterranean one, with olive oil, white vinegar, and primarily fresh fish and seafood seasoned with garlic and fresh parsley. Fresh shellfish and calamari are popular in Krk. However, due to the unique natural characteristics of Krk, lamb meat and sheep cheese have a distinct flavour and are highly prized delicacies! The ‘golden wine’, or Žlahtina, a famous dry wine manufactured uniquely in Vrbnik, is the town's most prominent feature! It's created with its own grapes that can only be found in that section of the country.
