Island of Krk Travel Guide: Excursions

The island of Krk sits on the intersection of culture, history, tourism, fun and entertainment and its centre, the town of Krk, is at centre of things on the island especially in the summer months.
A wide range of delicacies await you in the inns and restaurants on the island of Krk: from fish specialities and other sea food dishes that are dripping in local olive oil and Žlatina from Vrbnik to traditional pasta in a variety of sauces, Krk lamb, local sheep cheese and prosciutto. One thing is for sure, your taste buds won’t be bored.
A capella songs, performances, classical concerts and popular music are held every day in the town of Krk in the summer months, and the street performers and lively characters who you will meet in the old town, on Vela market square and on the coastal paths will freshen up the warm days and evenings.
The beaches of Krk are well known for being extremely well looked after and very well-equipped and the sea in this part of Kvarner is crystal clear. All our accommodation is right on the sea so you can have a totally relaxing summer holiday.
All those who want adrenalin can try windsurfing and other water sports not far from the town of Krk, in the bay of Punat, where excitement levels are raised to another notch.
In the last few years, some of the leading world tourism guides have called Krk the closest Adriatic island because of its airport and the fact that it only takes an hour or two for airlines from all over Europe to get here.
It is possible to get additional tourist information and maps from the Tourist Association of Krk, at Vela market, and in other sites.
Outside the city of Krk, on other parts of the island, there are places that are great for anyone who wants some nightlife. The biggest club on the island, the Crossroad disco in Malinska should definitely be mentioned here. There are also lots of summer cocktail bars that have relaxing sea side terraces and cafés and lounge bars where you can cool down with your favourite drink.
One thing we should not forget to mention, which is something quite unique and greatly entertained our visitors for the first time last year. This is the summer ice rink that is on the shore itself. So when you pack your things, as well as your sun cream, sun glasses and sun loungers, don’t forget to bring your ice skates with you .
