| 85 RIJEKA ČIMSLETITE, VEĆ STENAMORU AS SOONAS YOU LAND, YOU’RE ALREADY BY THE SEA Gde god da se krene s te tačke, Kvarnerska rivijera pruža samo lepotu. Ceo zaliv zaštićen je planinskim vencima Velebita, orskog kotara i Učke, pa je klima blaga tokom cele godine. Zbog takvog položaja, mesta na kopnu, ali i ostrva Krk, Cres, Rab i Lošinj bili su cilj mnogim osvajačima. Svi su ostavljali tragove, a do danas je opstalo 276 lokaliteta koji su zaštićeni spomenici kulture. Zbog lepote Krk su još stari Rimljani nazvali Zlatnim ostrvom, čije se čari najbolje upoznaju šetnjom kroz šarmantne primorske gradiće – Krk, Omišalj, Malinska, Vrbnik ili Baška. Prelepa arhitektura i uske ulice popločane belim kamenim pločama nasleđe su Mletačke republike. Brojne crkve, Katedrala uznesenja u Krku, rimska kupatila, bazilika, mletački dvorac u kojem se održavaju koncerti na otvorenom, samo su delić blaga ovog ostrva. Iako je raj za one koji vole mir i opuštanje, ljubitelji zabave će uzbuđenje pronaći u Malinskoj, gradiću bogatog noćnog života. Bilo da se luduje na nekom partiju ili uživa u večeri u restoranu uz more, obavezna je čaša vina vrbnička žlahtina, ukusa i arome koji se pamte. Uz kupanje, usamljene plaže Krka i okolnih ostrva izazov su za ronioce, jedriličare, bicikliste i pešake. Za svakoga će se pronaći neka lepota. Za potpuni doživljaj Kvarnera pređite Krčkimmostom do Rijeke i Opatijske rivijere, koja čuva duh starih vremena. Uz negovane parkove prolazi 12 kilometara duga staza za šetnju, čuvena Lungomare. Wherever you head from that point, you will provided only with the beauty of the Kvarner Riviera. The entire bay is protected by the mountain ranges of Mount Velebit, Gorski Kotar and Učka, ensuring the climate is mild throughout the year. Due to the strategic positioning of this area, the mainland – but also the islands of Krk, Cres, Rab and Lošinj – were targetted by many conquerors. All of them left their mark, with 276 sites surviving to this day as protected cultural monuments. The beauty of the island of Krk prompted the ancient Romans to dub it the Golden Island, the charms of which are best experienced by walking through the mesmerising coastal towns of Krk, Omišalj, Malinska, Vrbnik or Baška. Exquisitely beautiful architecture and narrow streets paved with white stone slabs remain as a sign of the heritage of the Venetian republic. Old towns with their narrow streets of white stone, numerous churches, the Cathedral of the Assumption in the town of Krk, Roman baths, a basilica, the Venetian Castle that hosts open-air concerts – these represent just part of the treasures of this island. Despite being a paradise for lovers of tranquillity and relaxation, lovers of nights out on the town will nd excitement in Malinska, a town with rich nightlife. Whether going crazy at a party or enjoying dinner at a seaside restaurant, it is obligatory to try a glass of Vrbnička žlahtina wine, which has an unforgettable avour and aroma. Apart from swimming, the isolated beaches of Krk and the surrounding islands are also a welcome challenge for divers, sailors, cyclists and hikers. There some beauty will be found for everyone. For the complete experience of Kvarner, cross the Krk Bridge to Rijeka and the Opatija Riviera, which preserves the spirit of ancient times. Extending alongside landscaped parks for a distance of 12 kilometres is the famous promenade known as Lungomare.
