ABOUT OPATIJA

OPATIJA

Opatija, a magnificent coastal town on the Adriatic Sea and a well-known 19th-century health resort, is today a popular holiday destination for tourists from all over the world. A mild and pleasant climate makes Opatija a perfect destination all year long. The town is surrounded by stunning nature. It is located at the foot of Mount Učka, a popular destination for hikers and excursionists and a boundary between the green Istrian peninsula and the littoral region which features a perfect harmony of varied landscapes. The town of Opatija offers a beautiful view of the sea and the nearby islands of Krk and Cres, which can easily be visited by car or ferry. Opatija is surrounded by charming small towns characterised by narrow streets and a rich history.

A wide range of beaches, clear sea and a variety of services and facilities are the key factors why tourists keep coming back to Opatija.

TOP 10 THINGS TO DO IN OPATIJA – CROATIA

In a country full of magnificent coastal gems, Opatija still manages to stand out. It is said that this small town 18 kilometres (11.1 miles) southwest of Rijeka is where Croatian coastal tourism began, but there is more than enough still going on to keep Opatija relevant to visitors today.

The Kvarner Gulf is just another stretch of Croatian sea that demands plenty of attention.

Opatija is its pride and joy, a small city of approximately 12,000 inhabitants that shimmers and shines at every turn. If you find yourself in this serene seaside siren, consider this your must-do checklist.
