Sightseeing
Vrbnik is a town like you’ve never seen before. When you enter its nest of old houses and start exploring the curvy direction of its narrow streets, you will be transported hundreds of years back in time without being aware of it at all.
You don’t need to know anything about the history of Croatia and the island of Krk, but as soon as you come to Vrbnik, you will realise that it uncovers itself for you at every step. You will feel the tradition, the hard way of life, the connection of man and nature because here the life depends on the vineyards which feed the town. Vrbnik gratefully comes alive when the year is fruitful and humbly goes through a less fruitful year.

The main island road which curves for 40 km in the direction north-southeast-east ends in Baska. That way, Baska can be considered a place “at the end of the world,” and it is known that such places have to be visited. Accordingly, you shouldn’t think for a moment whether you should come to Baska. You simply must!

Malinska, together with 19 smaller settlements, shapes the Dubasnica area which is located on the western part of the island of Krk and which is probably the tamest part of the island, wholly protected from winds, which is also in the name Sotovento – leeward.
Because of the tameness of the landscape and numerous smaller settlements, one can talk about a one of a kind Malinska Riviera since the wooded coast curves endlessly and is populated by people who make their living exclusively from tourism these days.

The view of the town, whether it is approached from the sea or land, is unusual: the town is hedged in by the coast with an extremely deep bay called Puntarska draga, where a miniature island of Kosljun is located, along with a Franciscan monastery. Unreal beauty!
