We recommend definitely visiting Krk town for a quick snapshot of history, cultural sites, scenery, island vibe, beaches where you can go for a quick dip in the sea to cool down and for lunch or dinner, taste the best of the island’s gastronomy. If you have a bit more time, consider visiting Vrbnik, Stara Baška, or any of the suggested activites that follow:

horse riding in njivice

WINE TASTING IN VRBNIK

If you’d like to explore the local wines, look no further than vrbnička žlahtina and the hilltop town of Vrbnik, where this white white has been grown for centuries. Vrbnik is worth a visit in any case, but to fully indulge in the local culture, cuisine and wine, visit its wineries (find out more here).

krk DIVING & snorkeling

Divers have been coming to Krk for decades, experienced or novice. There are a few companies which do diving trips from Krk, so you can google which one suits you best or try Styria Guenis Diving Center. If you don’t feel like driving and would just like to snorkel, ask us how to get to nearby beaches which are secluded and ideal for snorkeling.

HIRE A QUAD BIKE OR SCOOTER ON KRK ISLAND

EXPLORE KRK BY KAYAK / SUP

If you are keen to hire a SUP or a kayak to explore some of the nicest beaches and bays on Krk island, and you don’t mind driving 20-30mins to get there, we recommend reaching out to Škrila camping in Stara Baška.

GET A bike, E-BIKE OR JOIN AN E-BIKE TOUR AROUND KRK

If you’d like to rent a mountain bike or e-bike during your stay with us, we can suggest Bike Centar Krk - they can drop the bikes off for you, or you can even join in one of their tours if you like!

ON A RAINY DAY IN KRK…

When in rains on Krk island (which is not all that common in the summer, but it does happen), guests usually head our to Vrbnik and winery visits or to Biserujka Cave, which obviously makes these places - very busy. Instead, we suggest going for a spa day at Hotel Malin or taking a day just to enjoy the local delicacies like the locals do in winter - If you’re keen on that, go for lunch or dinner at Galija or for good fish, visit Frankopan Restoran.

ON A LAZY DAY IN KRK…

If you wake up in the morning and find that you are too lazy to do too much, take a walk or a quick drive to the nearest beach - in case you are staying with us that would be Uvala sv. Juraj or Rabasaj and we can help you find your way there. In the late afternoon or evening, get a lift to Krk and stroll along the Dražice area by the water and stop by at Punta di Galleto cafe bar for good views and a really relaxing vibe.
