The Crikvenica Riviera
Many of our places are on the coast south-east of Rijeka, in villages such as Jadranovo, Dramalj, Selce, Novi Vinodolski and Klenovica. Pebble beaches and promenades are often just a few steps away, and the hillside behind the coast gives wide views across to the islands.
Islands and coast
The bay includes the large islands of Krk, Cres, Lošinj and Rab. Krk is linked to the mainland by a bridge; the others are reached by ferry. On the western shore lies the historic seaside resort of Opatija.
The hinterland
The mountains begin soon after the coast. In the wooded Gorski kotar the Kupa river forms the border with Slovenia and is popular for swimming, canoeing and rafting, so sea and mountains combine easily in one holiday.
