A holiday apartment or a cheap holiday home in the Kvarner Bay also means: pure sun, deluxe relaxation, a dream vacation on the beach. Summers are hot. The thermometer reaches top values in July and August. The wind makes it very pleasant on the beach and at sea. There are also cool downs in the private pool, which you often get included when renting an apartment or villa. In winter, it can get very cold. Sub-zero temperatures are not uncommon in the Kvarner Bay. For most vacationers, it is most beautiful in May and June when everything blooms and greens and Croatia reveals its full splendor. Even in September, the conditions for a vacation with an apartment or holiday home are ideal, and you can still swim to your heart's content.
Beach and history of the Kvarner Bay
The Kvarner Bay, with all its interesting places, is extremely rich in sights and excursion destinations. Rent a holiday home or apartment from a private owner and find out for yourself. The holiday resort Novi Vinodolski on the Riviera of the same name is located south of the Kvarner Bay, for example. Typical for the place are the white facades and the red chimneys of the houses. Here you will find numerous historical highlights and beautiful beaches. In the evening, the colorful hustle and bustle in the old town comes to life. Novi Vinodolski captivates with pleasant air, a clean sea, and almost always green vegetation. Another highlight of your trip to the Kvarner Bay is the city of Rab. The dreamy place is located on the eponymous
island of Rab and looks back on a far-reaching history. The silhouette with the four bell towers is impressive and has become a typical Kvarner landmark. Rab is particularly well-known for its beautiful pebble and sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and picturesque bays. On the island of Rab, there are also special beaches for dogs. Ideal if you want to spend a
holiday with your dog in the Kvarner Bay. A great holiday home with a pebble beach and plenty of sun for your pet.
Tame the Wolf
Rab is also popular due to its impressive buildings as one of the most popular destinations in the Kvarner Bay. The Prince's Palace is one of the great cultural highlights during a vacation with an apartment or holiday home. The palace is located near the large square Trg Municipium Arba. Various Romanesque and Gothic Renaissance windows line up next to each other. The elaborate reliefs between the stone blocks also appear unique. In the atrium, you can marvel at excavation finds up close. There is also a lot to see in the city of Opatija. Visit the central city park, which is divided into two areas. It has been awarded the most beautiful park in the country several times. Highlights here are the Villa Angiolina, the botanical garden, or the Church of St. James. A top excursion tip is also the island of Kosljun. In the small harbor, you will find a statue of Saint Francis with the Wolf of Gubbio, for example. The following message can be read here: "Man, tame the wolf in you and you will see a friend and brother in every human being and no wolf!" The late Gothic Franciscan church Maria Annunciation also appears very impressive. It was built on the foundation of a Benedictine church from the 11th century on the island. If you find the time, you should also visit the Marian Monastery and the cloister on Kosljun. Arcades run above and below the monastery courtyard. The cloister was built in 1594 in the Romanesque style. Concerts are held here regularly. Also very interesting: the ethnographic museum, which takes you into the past of the
island of Krk.
Waiting time for Obelix
Rent a cozy holiday home or apartment from a private owner in a quiet location and decide for yourself when and where you want to eat. After all, the Kvarner Bay has some culinary highlights in store. Along the coast, chefs mainly rely on fish, crabs, or mussels. But lamb and pasta dishes are also very popular. In the interior, on the mainland, and towards the mountains, cheese, suckling pig, mushrooms, potatoes, cabbage, and game play the main role. The Croatian cuisine in the Kvarner Bay is characterized by some regional influences. The flour and sweet dishes can hardly deny their origin from Austria-Hungary or Italy. In the inland, you will find dishes according to old recipes from Zagorje or Gorski Kotar. A delicacy from the
island of Pag that we would like to recommend to you is Paski sir. The milk of this sheep gets a particularly piquant note through wild salty herbs. A popular starter is raw sardines dipped in salt, bay leaves, and vinegar, as well as the delicious squid salad. Almost everywhere in the Kvarner Bay, it sizzles in pans and delicious scents make their way through the alleys. A special Kvarner specialty is the grilled meat that simmers under a "Tonglocke." Note that a juicy wild boar roast takes about three hours to cook. Did Obelix really always wait that long?
