Island Krk Croatia has 1185 islands, 66 of which are inhabited. The island of Krk is the largest of them, with an area of 405,78 km2, 38 km in length, up to 18 km wide at the widest points, its coast 189,30 km long. ?xml:namespace> Krk can be reached from various sides: from the sea (by boat or swimming), from the mainland – because after the construction of the bridge, Krk practically became a part of mainland, and from the air, because Rijeka airport is located on Krk, near Omišalj. For the largest Croatian island it is only appropriate to have the largest Croatian bridge – and not only Croatian. The length of the bridge its accesses is 1430 m, but what made it prominent is the 390 meter long concrete arch from the mainland to the islet St. Marko, which made it the largest bridge of its kind at the times of its construction. The arch beat the largest one until then, on the bridge in Sydney, by 85 m. Krk is located in Kvarnerski zaljev (the Quarner bay), in the immediate vicinity of the city and the port Rijeka. Although it is located in the north, the Mediterranean climate gives it warm summers and mild winters. Brave people with stamina can try even earlier, but the sea is pleasant for bathing from June to September, or even October. The island of Krk has 1300 described species of flora, which by itself needn’t mean much, but if you compare this to the number of 1180 on a much bigger and better known island called Great Britain, as far as species of flora are concerned, they should swap their names – Great Krk and the Island of Britain. Island of Krk, Torino ( Italy), Bordeaux ( France), Ottawa ( Canada), Minneapolis and Portland (USA), Hokkaido ( Japan), Harbin ( China) and Krasnodar ( Russia), are being on the 45th parallel or at the geographic latitude of 45 degrees north is what connects them. Cities on this parallel also share similar climate conditions. ?xml:namespace> Text from… ?xml:namespace>

Otok Krk Hrvatska ima 1185 otoka od kojih je 66 naseljeno. Među njima najveći je otok Krk, površine 405,78 km2,dužine 38 km, najveće širine 18 km te dužinom obale od 189,30 kilometara. Na Krk je moguće doći s različitih strana: s mora(brodom ili plivajući), s kopna – jer je izgradnjom mosta praktično i postao dio kopna, te iz zraka jer je Riječka zračna luka smještena upravo na Krku, u blizini Omišlja. Najvećem hrvatskom otoku priliči i najveći hrvatski most, i ne samo hrvatski! Dužina mosta s prilazima je 1430 m, a ono čime se isticao jest betonski luk od kopna do otočića Sv. Marko dužine 390 m,čime je u vrijeme izgradnje postao najveći takav most na svijetu. Za 85 m lukje nadmašio dotada najveći na mostu u Sydneyu. Krk je smješten u Kvarnerskom zaljevu u neposrednoj blizini grada i luke Rijeka. Iako se nalazi prilično sjeverno, mediteranska klima daje mu topla ljeta i blage zime. Ljeta su uglavnom suha i topla s temperaturom oko 30°C. Hrabri i izdržljivi mogu i ranije, no more je ugodno za kupanje od lipnja do rujna pa čak i listopada. Otok Krk posjeduje 1300 opisanih biljnih vrsta, što samo po sebi ne govori puno, ali ako to usporedite s brojkom od 1180, koliko ima znatno veći i poznatiji otok pod imenom Velika Britanija, što se tiče biljnih vrsta trebali bi zamijeniti imena – Veliki Krk i otok Britanija. Otoku Krku, Torinu (Italija), Bordeauxu (Francuska), Portlandu (SAD) i Krasnodaru (Rusija) zajedničko je što se nalaze na 45. paraleli ili 45. stupnju sjeverne geografske širine. Gradovi na toj paraleli također dijele i slične klimatske prilike. Tekst preuzet iz…
