There are a lot of ways to enjoy breath-taking landscapes of the Island of Krk and its surroundings. We were mainly experiencing it on bike or through hiking trails which, for us, is a perfect way of spending an active holiday. But for our last night on this island we wanted to try something more traditional, more of a local way of life.
And we did! Thanks to our friend’s recommendation,...
You would think that sunbathing, sipping cocktails or even reading books next to your children is simply mission impossible.. But last summer my family and I actually experienced something completely different!
Since we booked our accommodation in Punat, on the Island of Krk, we were looking for a full day excursion where...
It is a very important time of the year on the Island of Krk! Almost every family in the area of Punat Baška, Vrbnik, Malinska and beyond is picking olives for extra virgin olive oil production.
Most of the families own at least a dozen of olive trees and produce olive oil for their personal use. The families get together on the weekends,...

When driving towards Punat from the town of Krk, take the 2nd exit at the roundabout to Vrbnik and Baška. After cca 2km you will see on your right side a sign pointing towards the most attractive Olive Garden on the Island of Krk. Even though you’re rushing to get to your final destination, or this route wasn’t even in your plans, trust us – make a stop at this olive grove...
We all want to take our furry loved ones on vacation with us. After all, eating treats and getting belly rubs is hard work! To keep the beaches clean and simply because some people, inexplicably, aren’t animal lovers, most beaches on Island Krk, and through all of Croatia, are restricted to pets. Violating said restrictions may result in a hefty fine, especially during the busy summer...

Goli otok is located at the foot of the tall peaks of the Velebit mountain between the two most popular tourist islands Krk and Rab.
