KRK

The island of Krk is the first Adriatic island that you'll encounter when coming from the north. It is located in Kvarner Bay and was known in Roman times as Insula aurea – the Golden Island. Krk is the ideal destination for all those who want to enjoy a holiday on an island but who also want to avoid long journeys and ferry rides. This is possible because Krk is easily accessible from the mainland via Krk Bridge, from the sea by boat or by ferry to the harbour of Valbiska, and by plane to Rijeka International Airport, which is located close to Omišalj.

Bašća plaque and medicinal mud

The Baška Tablet holds immense historical significance for the entire Croatian nation as it is the oldest Croatian monument written in the Glagolitic script, dating back to the 11th century, nearly four centuries before the discovery of America. Seek out the Church of St. Lucia in Jurandvor near Baška, where a replica of the tablet is currently housed. The original left tablet from 1100 measures 194 x 93 cm, is 8 cm thick, and weighs around 800 kg. The text is inscribed in 13 rows. The tablet has long been cracked into three unequal parts. Its importance lies in its status as the earliest known monument to mention the name of a croatian king, and it does so in the croatian language. The text is written in the high style of contemporary charters. It is a legal document by which Zvonimir grants some land to the Benedictines. The tablet made its way to the Croatian academy of sciences and arts in Zagreb in 1934, where it underwent a thorough restoration that removed salt deposits. It is kept in the HAZU building and is open for viewing by all visitors. The healing mud at Meline Beach in Soline is well-known and draws many visitors from early spring to late autumn.
