Very pretty village with nice restaurants and shops - well worth a visit, or ideally stay a few nights. Nice cove on south side to swim in.

Althought there is little left on the antque town of Rab, it is worthwhile to see preserved and prosperous Rab of the early and late Romanesque period which brought with a new kind of urbanism and wonderful arhitecture of town houses, churches, monasteries and belfries influenced by the Mediterranean spirit. It is worthwhile to experiance the adventurous controversial feeling and coldness and warm-heartedness of stone ambience, numerous stone portals and windows, which separate the outer noisy life of its inhabitants from the secretive and hidden one

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.

Rising above towns teeming with activity, Kastav has managed to preserve its rich history, its valuable architectural monuments, its culture, tradition, and its untouched nature over many centuries. At the same time, keeping up with the times, it developed an up to date entrepreneurial spirit reflected in both attractive and unique tourist offers as well as in traditional industries. Kastav can offer an exquisite blend of delights and business opportunities to every visitor. Kastav has it all - from high quality music and stage performances to folk festivals and carnival parties, from recreation in nature to visits to museums and landmarks, always accompanied with first class gastronomic and oenological delights.

The most quaint town you can actually stay in. Most attractions of this type are only for paying customers to visit & a few privileged locals to live in. So imagine our surprise when our accommodation "Euroway House" was right in the middle of Kastav - the most quaint ancient village you will ever stay in. With a massive natural park attached to it, where it looks like nothing has changed for the last 500 years you can still see the stone foundations of ancient buildings & amphitheaters that existed in a buy gone era. You could spend days just exploring this park. Not to mention the most amazing views from the old castle towers of Kastav - of which, I think 5 are still standing.
8. Trsat Castle

Trsat Castle represents a strategically embossed gazebo on a hill 138 meters above sea level that dominates Rijeka. As a parochial centre it was mentioned for the first time in 1288. Trsat Castle is one of the oldest fortifications on the Croatian Coast, where the characteristics of the early medieval town construction have been preserved. Today Trsat Castle, beside the Bazilisk souvenir shop and the Gradina coffee bar, is enriched with new facilities – gallery space where art exhibitions are held as well as open-air summer concerts and theatre performances as well as fashion shows and Literary evenings. Within Trsat Castle, at the Petra Zrinskog b.b. Address, is the Trsat Castle Info Point where any information about this building and the town of Rijeka can be found.

The evening walk to a castle was great idea. The view is amazing, day or night. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

Mošćenička Draga is an amazing small fishing village that has so much to offer. Besides great food, amazing beach and the most beautiful clear blue see, you can take a day trip and explore the wild side of the Island Cres, the picturesque surrounding islands of Krk and Rab. We booked a day trip with Ondine taxi boat /trip with captain Dany, that is the main caracter and the funniest guy I have meet. We started in the morning easily at 11 am, no rush, with lots of fruit, drinks, food and a good music. 10 of friends and family with no main plan, we haded to the open see. The view to Mošćenička Draga from behind was just breathtaking. But what was in front of us was even more inviting. Blue see, blue sky, bunch of islands, really what a nature. Music on the boat, some rakija (Croatian short drink), sun and wind in the hair, had, whathever felt amazing. You can sit behing, or go on the sun infront or even climb on the roof. You can do whathever makes you feel happy. We first stop at the wild beach on island Cres, swimm a bit, had some great sausage with hommade bread, homemade tomatos, snorkeled a bit around, had fun jumping from the boat, danced, laughed and then haded to town Beli on Island Cres. An amazing little town at the beach and up on a small hill. You can walk up or drive with train. Up is a great restaurant, museum, church, and everything is in stones. Down by the beach there is also a great restaurant, always some music, locals playing, so some relaxed dancing and singing moves away from it all are just flipping up your vains and butt. And you would not believe it, a zip line just accross the sea from one side to the other. Now that you really have to try. Awsame. And so the day was slightly going to the end and we haded back. When we though we have done and saw all, the islands, the beach, under the sea, old town, driving with train, zip line, having some dance etc, that was not all. The sunset, and not only one, but 3 of them, while driving by all this islands parts took my breath away. I climbed on the roof and had a time of my life. I even stopped making pictures, I stopped thinking and just admired. The music was just right, the wind, it was warm enough. Now that was the day to remember. So when in Mošćenička Draga find captain Dejan, "Ondine" and prepare yourself to one of the most joyable trips that you will definitely enjoy and remember.
