Krk Island & Krk Town
Krk
One of Croatia's largest islands, connected to the mainland by a bridge over the sea. The old town has Roman-era walls, a Romanesque cathedral and the Frankopan family castle.
Krk Island is linked to the mainland by Krk Bridge, completed in 1980. From Rijeka it takes about 45 minutes by car to Krk Town, and Rijeka Airport is also on the island. Krk Old Town is surrounded by walls dating back to the Roman period. Inside are the 12th-century Romanesque Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, the Church of St. Quirinus, the castle of the Frankopan family and a seaside square, with cafés and small bars along the lanes. The island also has Baška Beach, the cliff town of Vrbnik, the Biserujka Cave and more, making it suitable for a one-day drive around the island. The old town is free; churches and the castle charge admission.
