What to do and see in Crikvenica, Croatia: The Best Places and Tips
Crikvenica (Croatian pronunciation: [ˈtsrikvɛnitsa]; Latin: Ad Turres, Italian: Cirquenizza, Hungarian: Cirkvenica, Cirkvenicza, Czirkvenicza, Czirkwenicza, German: Cirknenz) is the largest settlement on the coast of the Vinodol coastal area, Croatia, and developed on the site of Roman era settlement and military base called Ad Turres. Population 6,860, total municipality population 11,122 with 90% Croats (2011). The city is situated on the Adriatic near Rijeka in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar county. In the last twenty years, due to urban expansion of Crikvenica itself and expansion of the nearby town of Selce, the two were merged into a mini-conglomerate.

Paragliding is something I've always wanted to try. It was incredible! Now I know what an eagle feels like!
Damir, our pilot and made my wife and I very comfortable. Very friendly and professional. We also enjoyed visiting with Maxo, the driver! Communication during planing and leading up the the flight was great! I had an email reservation and paid in cash (Kuna) after the flight. It all worked great!
Take off was perfectly smooth! The flight was exhilarating and peaceful at the same time! The scenery was beautiful! The landing was butter smooth! I can't say enough about it! I would go again in a heartbeat! Well worth the time and money!
Thanks so much Damir and Paragliding Kvarner! You made our trip!

The beach is easy to get, the beach is small, entry into the water arranged only on one part. There are plenty of big rocks and we found on a piece of concrete with wire? Lacks trees and shade, you can rent umbrellas at overpriced rates. Good idea, but a little more work on that. Female staff quite rude. I was expecting more.

5. Aquarium

Already standing outside we were wondering where would all the fish fit in. The place it SUPER tiny. Unfortunately kids that are used to Sea World and places alike will be in and out of this lovely aquarium in 10 minutes.
I personally enjoyed watching the fish without crowds on my back.
Sharks are in the basement ;)
Ticket for adults is €4,2 (30 kuna), kids under 5 are free. They only accept cash. If you don't have any there are 3 different banks on the same street.
No disrespect to the lovely aquarium, but I would go there only if I have absolutely nothing else to do. It's really tiny.

Overall Ratings

The building of this church began in 1934. It was consecrated in 1939, but the impressive 35 m-high belfry was only finished in the first decade of the 21st century.The Russian Orthodox Church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was built in 1924 on the initiative of Russians who had fled to Crikvenica after the October Revolution. It has been closed many years ago.

Nice peaceful place for brainstorming. I will always coming again. St Antony church is my favorite church in the city.
8. Love Path

Reviewed By JanaSarajevo_B_H - Sarajevo, B&H
If you want a nice walk with beautiful view all around this is the right path. This path goes along the see, you may walk into the beach and if warm enough have a swim too.
There are number of places to seat on the sun or in the shade and enjoy the view, but in addition you will hear lovely birds too.
You may spent a day walking, there are coffee places around but too many of them. All together this is a long walk, but you will not forget it and definitely want to repeat it.
