Krk

Krk shares with Cres the title of largest Adriatic island: a bridge to the mainland, a big marina in Punat and a bura that rules every passage along the east coast.

Krk is the most populous Croatian island and the base of many charter fleets in Kvarner. The west and south coasts are gentle, with the town of Krk, Malinska and Punat, while the east coast drops steeply to the Vinodol Channel. In the south is Baška with its long pebble beach, and on a cliff above the sea Vrbnik, known for its žlahtina wine.

Puntarska draga is an almost completely enclosed bay and one of the safest shelters in the northern Adriatic. The east coast and the Senjska vrata strait between Krk and Prvić should be avoided when bura is forecast: it blows there among the strongest on the Adriatic.

For boaters

Marina Punat in Puntarska draga, the town harbours of Krk, Malinska and Baška. The islet of Košljun with its Franciscan monastery, in the middle of Puntarska draga, makes a pleasant trip by tender.
