Volosko

Reviewed By VuongN384 - Ottawa, Canada

The neighbourhood is an upscale one with immense villas and beautiful houses. Mixing with them a moderate small houses and small restaurants. There is a cozy cake shop well known to the local as well as visitors situated amongst thee restaurants. I like the area away from busy diwnton of Opitija.

Lungo Mare

Reviewed By lutakmoj - Pula, Croatia

We had some meeting in Volosko and after we wanted to walk a little in Opatija. Usually in summer it is not possible to park car here but it was late and we had lack. We find a place in one private small parking. It was expensive but we was happy. It was very ALIVE on Opatija's lungo mare, or riva as you like. Lot of people, music. For me it is always nice to just walk here, sit , eat ice cream or some of fantastic cakes, and have something to drink by the sea. What can you want more of life. Opatija is small but so beautiful OLD LAY like people call this city. One of splendid stars in tourism in Croatia. Always GREAT. If you want you can walk more by the sea for kilometers and also drink something in nice beach bar on the Opatia's beach. here you can lay down on beach beds or just sit and drink or eat something in this nice place.

This lovely statue of the Girl with the Seagull (1956) stands on a rock by the Lungo Mare promenade near the boat harbour. She has come to be an icon of Opatija.

The church is impresive, positioned on the hill above promenade and Slatina beach. It is demanding to climb the number of stairs to reach the church entrance but it is must see place.

Saint Jacob

Reviewed By LineMc - Perth, Australia

Quaint little church in the centre of Opatija, across from Villa Angelina which is the tourism museum and next to the hotel Kvarner which is the first hotel in Opatija and a few steps away from the lady and the seagull statue at the waterfront. Lovely trees and seats around for resting and paths to walkaround.
