<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
have always wanted to visit Croatia's largest island, but never knew
where to start. The country has so many islands, and almost all of
them are great tourist attractions. This year, my wife and I decided
to start off with the Island of Krk. There we were able to enjoy and
begin our exploration of Croatia's beautiful and untouched nature.
Located near Rijeka in the Kvarner Bay, the island is second largest
next to Cres.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This
holiday vacation, we wanted to try a more adventurous travel
approach, so we booked a sailboat from one of the local Croatian
companies that offer rentable vessels. The company is called
SailingEurope and we'd recommend it to anyone looking for an
affordable price of rent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />We
had no problems getting to the island in our new and luxurious
charted yacht. We set anchor in the <a href="http://www.sailingeurope.com/en/yacht-charter-in/croatia/punat/marina_punat_charter/marina-299-23" target="_blank">Marina Punat</a>, which has very good
shelter from the wind. From there, we continued to reach Krk Town to
see one of the most beautiful Venetian castles ever built. We also
sampled Krk's most famous white wine called "Zlahtina". </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="en">It
was named after the Slavic adjective, meaning "noble". The
wine is clear and has a greenish-yellow color. The taste is light and
refreshing with a fruity aroma.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Delicious!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After
we had our share of Krk and it's famous Croatian cuisine, we took the
bus to Malinska, another popular tourist place. Malinska has some of
the cleanest beaches the island has to offer. There are water
activities for children and adults everyday and you're guaranteed to
have fun. We were overwhelmed when we discovered a beach called
"Rajski put" (Heaven's Path). It wasn't very crowded and we
spent the whole day there. The beach is famous for its raw natural
looks and peaceful surroundings.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Night
life is especially active on the island of Krk. Live music
performances by various artists, painters and street performers await
you. Whether it is dancing or souvenir shopping, you’ll find it all
on Krk. While staying in Malinska, we even had our paper silhouette
portraits done by one of the artists there! It’s a nice way to
remember your visit and get your picture taken in a unique way.
There’s also a ferry there that has an underwater window that you
can use to observe fish and other majestic creatures of the Adriatic.
It’s truly an amazing sight.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My
wife and I really enjoyed our stay in Croatia and we’re probably
going to come back next year. I’d recommend Krk to anyone. It is
really a great way to start your journey in Croatia. Have a safe trip
and enjoy your stay!</span></div>
