KRK, a town, port and summer resort in the bay of the same name, on the south-western coast of the island of Krk; situated in the northern part of the bay. Chief occupations are farming, viniculture, fruit growing, fishery, crafts, processing of synthetic masses and tourism.

 

 

 

 
Tourist tradition of the island of Krk is one of the oldest on the Adriatic. In 1866 the town of Krk issued the first tourist picture postcard through the Society for Improvement of the Town, so that that year is considered to mark the beginning of tourism on the island.
 

Today Krk offers a picture of tourist diversity. Nature, with the typical Mediterranean landscape, narrow streets leading to one of the numerous cultural monuments, picturesque pebble beaches provide Krk an image preserved for centuries. On the other hand, the contemporary life has driven the inhabitants of Krk outside the city walls, so that a town of beautiful villas and attractive houses has developed, which offer hospitality to many permanent guests of Krk.

 

The accommodation facilities such as hotels, boarding houses, apartments, campsites, a multitude of beaches, water sports and boating facilities, excursions to the treasury of heritage - Kosljun, or the mystery and richness of the underwater life of the islet of Plavnik (corals) - guarantee a warm welcome.
