Kvarner Here the littoral landscape is practically in the immediate vicinity of the mountainous and forested region of Gorski kotar, the Mediterranean clime and way of life are first neighbours with the harsh mountain climate, while the world of a fashionable tourist resort boasting a 150 year long tradition is so vastly different from the simple rhythm of the island life. Kvarner is a place where those seeking the glitter of trendy summer resort - like the lovely Opatija whose tourist tradition, parks replete with lush greenery and elegant villas, combined with the 12 km long promenade by the sea, attract guests throughout the year. Perhaps you imagine an ideal holiday, one where you can set off from the shore towards sunny islands, and then sail back to seek the peace and quiet of a mountain peak. In the process you dream of a sun-bathed Riviera that can, should you so wish, be replaced within a span of 10 km by ascetic peace and fresh mountain air where you are in the company of eagles, wolves and bears, and where your lungs are filled with forest scented air. If that is indeed the case, then you are looking for Kvarner and Gorski kotar - separate parts of this small country that differ significantly one from the other. Kvarner is a harmony of difference: the blueness of the sea framed by snowy mountaintops in winter, the richness of the forest of the Rab Kalifront and the bareness of the northern side of the island, the mystic of the votive churches on bare pastures of the Cres plateau and the romantic amorous of the Lošinj forest park of Čikat, together with many accompanying details – the sandy islands of Susak or Srakane, or of the nearby island of Unije, or of the, in many ways unique and picturesque island of Ilovik; the large self-confident island of Krk, with well-kept vineyards and fine wines, with the more and more renewed olive groves and a multitude of pleasant restaurants; the ecological islands of Pag and Cres with the best lamb meat in the world. On the other hand, on the mainland catches the eye and lures touristicaly the blooming Liburnia: Mošćenička Draga, Lovran, Ičići, Opatija and Volosko, built in a luxurious style, with a 164 year long tourist tradition, bellow the east slopes of the mountain Učka. The bell towers of Brseč, Mošćenice and Veprinac seem as if they are guarding that heavenly garden of parks, flowers, seaside strolls, aristocratic villas and hotels. A little further, across Rijeka (a large economic, traffic and cultural centre on the Adriatic, that has spread below a thousand year old citadel – Trsat), lay the seaside towns Bakar and Kraljevica, with a rich maritime tradition, and the famous tourist destinations: Crikvenica with, so they say, the most perfectly constructed beach on the Adriatic, and Novi Vinodolski, an old historical town, where, in 1228, the first Croatian statute, the Vinodol Statutes, was written. In addition to its beauty, diversity, hospitality and over a hundred year long tourist tradition, the Kvarner region excels in the exceptional gastronomy offered in a wide variety of top class restaurants.

Informacije i rezervacije e-mail: info@macrocruise.com ISTRA Tko zna tko je Istru prvi nazvao ‘Čarobna zemlja' - Terra Magica? Narodi stare mediteranske civilizacije, Kelti, Histri ili najvjerojatnije Rimljani? To i nije toliko važno, svi su ti narodi i njihove kulture nestali, a ostala je Istra, sa svojom magijom. Magijom koju ćete osjetiti na svakom koraku, u svakom dodiru... U čaši istarskoga terana, u kapi istarskoga maslinova ulja, u punoći istarske rakije biske... Osjetiti rađanje maestrala pokraj Umaga, zaviriti u Limski kanal pokraj Rovinja, prepoznati državničku povijest Brijunskih otoka pokraj Pule, napiti se snagom sunca i vjetra na najjužnijem rtu Kamenjaku. Prepustiti se Istri - to je najbolje, osjetiti tihe i lagane drhtaje duše, što se opija Istrom i - biti sretan.
