Volosko
An ancient fishing village at the northern end of the seaside promenade, where stone lanes and a small harbor are home to some of the finest seafood restaurants on the Kvarner Gulf.
Volosko lies at the northern end of Opatija. It is an older fishing village than Opatija, with stone houses stacked up the hillside. Narrow lanes, archways and flower pots make up a classic Adriatic town scene, and fishing boats are moored at the small harbor (mandrač). The village is known for its high-quality seafood restaurants, and Kvarner scampi is the signature dish. You can walk from Opatija along the seaside promenade in about 20 minutes. Admission is free, and it is ideal for dining by the sea after an evening stroll.
