Krk island: a paradise of pebbles, sand and turquoise sea
Krk, often called the “Golden Island”, is not only the most easily accessible island in Croatia but also one of the most varied. With more than 2,500 hours of sunshine a year and a coastline ranging from lively family beaches to secluded coves you can only reach by boat, Krk has the perfect spot for every type of holidaymaker.
The island is particularly proud of its water quality: nowhere else in Croatia fly so many “Blue Flags” – a symbol of the highest water purity and excellent infrastructure.
