Island Krk The “golden island”, as the island of Krk has been called since ancient times, is the nearest island to western Europe. The latitude of the island is 45° and the longitude is 14°35′. It has been connected with mainland since 1980, a 1400m long bridge made of reinforced concrete. Krk has approximately 19 300 inhabitants. The island Krk has many different landscapes . The north part of the island is almost bare because of the strong wind called “bura” while the southern part abounds with greenness and gentle bays. Inland, rocky hills alternate with fertile fields. This sort of relief favorably provides for the cultivation of grapes and the production of the well-known wine “Vrbnička Žlahtina.” If you can’t visit the island Krk during the summer, come in spring or autumn. If the weather is nice, you can have a swim in the sea in June, September and October. Get in You can reach Krk by land, sea and by air because there is also an airport (Rijeka airport). The island doesn’t have a railway. The nearest railway station is in Rijeka, only 30 km from Krk. There are daily trains to and from Italy, Austria, Germany and Hungary. Rijeka also has daily coach lines which connects all European points such as Munich, Zurich, Trieste, etc. If you like boat rides you can also reach Rijeka by ferry and one of the safe harbours of the island in your own boat. You can leave your boat during the winter in Marina Punat or in other marinas offering dry storage. For those who prefer coming by car: München ~ 600 km, Wien ~ 500 km, Budapest ~ 600 km, Praha ~ 800 km, Bratislava ~ 600 km, Trieste ~ 100 km, Milano ~ 550 km, Ljubljana ~ 150 km, Zagreb ~ 200 km Get around There is a bus public transport but it is not very frequent. The best way to get around is by car. Krk is a diverse island and it is worth exploring. It is possible to hire a car, a scooter or a bicycle on the island. The Baška area on the south-eastern part of the island is particular for some of its curiosities. When we climb from the Punat valley, and at a height of around 330 m, we pass through the Treskavac hills, surrounded by the highest hill on the island (Obzova, around 570 m) and find ourselves in front of the Baška hill-encircled valley. The nature there is beautiful, the bond between the mountains and the sea. The Croatian birth certificate – the Baška tablet was found here in 1100. Baška is also recognizable as having one of the largest and most beautiful pebble beaches on the Adriatic, which is in a semicircle and more than 1800 metres long. The naturally fine sand provides, especially for children and non-swimmers, pleasure on the beach, as the sea level increases gradually. Apart from its beautiful beach, Baška is also interesting for its characteristic architecture, numerous cultural and historical monuments and its surrounding tour paths. Baška is also recognizable for its high quality accommodation facilities, from hotels and camp-sites to private accommodation capacities.

Baška , Bašćansko područje na jugoistoku otoka je po nekim svojim zančajkama iznimno. Kada se od puntarske drage penjemo uzbrdo i na oko 330 m prelazimo obronke Treskavca, s najvišim vrhovima otoka (Obzova, oko 570 m) pa se sasvim iznenada i naglo nađemo pred bašćanskom kotlinom, ostajemo zatečeni, gotovo bez daha. Jer, nismo bili pripremljeni na baš takvu igru prirode, spoj planina i mora. Upravo ovdje, oko 1100. godine nastaje krsni list Hrvata- Bašćanska ploča. Baška je prepoznatljiva i po jednoj od najvećih i najljepših šljunčanih plaža na Jadranu, dužine u polukrugu više od 1 800 metara. Prirodno fini pijesak posebice omogućuje neplivačima i djeci uživanje na plaži, jer se dubina mora postupno povećava. Poput ostalih krčkih mjesta, i u starom dijelu ovoga su mjesta uske uličice, kuće blizu jedna drugoj tako da je ugođaj tipičan mediteranski. Osim prekrasne plaže, Baška je zanimljiva po svojoj karakterističnoj arhitekturi, brojnim kulturnopovijesnim spomenicima te po okolnim izletničkim stazama. Baška je prepoznatljiva i po smještajnim objektima visoke razine, od hotela, kampova pa se do privatnih smještajnih kapaciteta. Začeci turizma sežu daleko na početak dvadesetog stoljeća, kada se ovdje 1904. godine osniva "Društvo za poljepšanje grada", dvije godine kasnije otvoren je i prvi hotel, a 1908. godine uređeno kupalište s kupališnom zgradom. Prvi su gosti bili Česi koji su i danas vjerni mjestu. Ovi gosti došli su zahvaljujući direktoru praške "Narodne politike" Emilu Geistlichu, velikom prijatelju mjesta, koji je pronio glas o ljepoti ovog kraja. Bašćani su mu zahvalili spomenikom uz plažu. kulturnopovijesna baština servisne informacije hoteli kampovi obiteljski smještaj turističke agencije kongresni turizam wellnes
