Sorry it's been a while since I last posted in here. So here I am with our latest Krk Island tour. For those who do not know Krk island or Otok Krk as it is known in Croatian is the largest island in the Kvarner Bay. At a whooping size of 409,9 square kilometres, it is more than half the size of Singapore island. You can find my earlier post about the island here.
If you are into Folk Dancing, be sure to hit Njivice town sometime between June to August. Check out the event schedule listed on the site!
As it's off tourist season, we only see a couple of Germans and Italians lazing on the beaches of this town. It was one of those rare Autumn afternoons when the waters are warm enough for swimming. In the distance standing on the pier, we spotted two men fishing. Perhaps some locals passing time or simply enjoying the sunshine which is usually shining on this island.
It is not hard to find this town from the main road that leads from the Krk bridge (there is a road toll for entering this island) as the towns are clearly labelled. However, it is quite a long drive to get to the centre of Njivice which is one of the minus points of this town. There are too many houses along the road. Apartments of sorts before you make a left turn to go straight down to the town centre where all the restaurants are located.
So I'll leave you with a few little pictures of this town and hope you'll pop by next summer!
There are many small towns and villages on this island. So I will introduce another sweet little town Njivice. The statue pictured above is the symbol of the once Fishing town which has become one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island. Located in the bay of Beli Kamik, it has a beautiful seaview, with crystal clear water and lots of nice places to sit down for a cup of Macchiatto. For more information about this little town, be sure to visit the website.

Hi Emm!
Yes. It's really nice and quiet town now since the tourist season is over. I love travelling off season!
I can definitely imagine ta it wouldbe nicer without tourists around!
Emm you can say that again.
It's million times better to travel Croatia in September! Wheee...
I imagine it's a quaintly old fashioned but charming place. And I'll take your advice: it's better to visit the place on September.
Stay well:-)
Hi Lotus Flower.
The Krk island is not really old fashioned but it does have quite a few historical monuments.
We found a really nice group of house facing the sea and discovered we could never fit the criteria for living in there... they are for Priests..
waw i need to go that town to my next holiday.
Hello Joel!
See you around here soon! :) Drop us a note if you need any travel advice!
Btw, how to pronounce the name (Krk) since it has no vowel?
Hi Ori!
In Croatian, R can be a vowel too.
The pronounciation is more like "Kirk" with a more pronounced R.
