Overview

About Kvarner

Kvarner is where Croatia's coast pivots from the Istrian peninsula into the great Dalmatian archipelago. Faded Habsburg-era spa towns line the mainland; offshore, Krk, Cres, Lošinj and Rab offer pebbled coves, herb-scented forests and lookout bell towers. Behind it all rises the fortress-like wall of the Velebit mountains.
