Kvarner represents the largest gulf in the Croa - tian part of the Adriatic and includes, among ot- hers, the islands of Krk, Cres and Rab, all of which are actually sea mountains that rise 600-700 me- tres from the seabed. The coastal landscape he- re is practically an extension of the mountainous region of Gorski Kotar, with the Mediterranean cli- mate and way of life representing the closest ne- ighbours of its harsh mountain climate. This part of the coast encompasses the easternmost part of the Istrian peninsula, the mainland area around the Bay of Rijeka and the coastal side of the Vele- bit mountain range, while Rijeka is the largest co- astal city in Kvarner Gulf. Kvarner is the right place for those seeking the glitter of a trendy summer resort – like the love- ly Opatija, with its long tourist tradition, parks of lush greenery and elegant villas, combined with a 12-km-long seafront promenade. Kvarner is ideal for visitors seeking enjoyment in the combination of a beautiful coastline, sunny islands and almost intimidating mountains that tower over the coas- tline. This sunny riviera gives way to the almost ascetic tranquillity of the mountains, where com- pany is provided by eagles, wolves and bears. Judging by nature that’s far from the regular hustle of a busy island, Krk is at times more of a green oasis than a modern, well-connected island. The islands of Cres and Lošinj used to be separated by a channel that was excavated by the Romans, while today they’re connected by a bridge. This region is even more special becau- se of the island of Susak, one of the country’s rare sand islands. The next island is Rab, which is rich in Mediterranean shrubs and sand beaches. However, before you head out to explore all the beauty of Kvarner, be sure to land in Rijeka and discover this city, with architecture – from Got- hic, via Baroque to Austro-Hungarian influences – that reveals its rich history. Despite having a tur- bulent history, Rijeka pulsates with the dynamic rhythm of everyday life, which you will best feel in the city centre, on the always lively Korzo prome- nade. Take a seat and drink a coffee while people, scenes and events pass you by... And when the li- ghts go out and many cities fall silent, Rijeka lives on intensely through its nightclubs and restau- rants with excellent gastronomic offers. You’ll certainly also enjoy events like the Nights of Ri- jeka‘s Squares and Beaches and the Summer on Gradina festival, and don’t miss June’s Fiumanka, when Rijeka’s port is transformed into a marina jampacked with boats and visited by lovers of the sea and sailing from many countries.

Kvarner je najveći zaliv hrvatskog dela Jadra - na, u kojem se, između ostalih, nalaze ostr - va Krk, Cres i Rab, koja zapravo predstavlja - ju planine u moru jer se dižu 600–700 metara sa dna. Ovde je primorski pejzaž praktično u neposrednoj blizini planinske šumovite regi- je Gorskog kotara, a mediteranska klima i na - čin života su prvi susedi oštre planinske kli - me. Ovaj deo Primorja obuhvata najistočniji deo poluostrva Istre, kopno oko Riječkog zali - va i primorsku stranu Velebita, a najveći grad na obali Kvarnerskog zaliva je Rijeka. Kvarner je mesto gde moderna letovališta po- put ljupke Opatije, čija turistička tradicija, par - kovi prepuni bujnog zelenila i elegantnih vila, u kombinaciji sa 12 kilometara dugim šeta - lištem uz more, tokom cele godine privlače goste željne bleštavila. Idealan je za one ko - ji žele da uživaju u kombinaciji prelepe oba - le, sunčanih ostrva i gotovo zastrašujucih pla - nina na kojima vlada gotovo asketski mir, a društvo vam prave orlovi, vukovi i medvedi. Sudeci po prirodi koja je daleko od svakod - nevne ostrvske vreve, Krk je na momente vi- še zelena oaza nego moderno ostrvo. Cres i Lošinj nekada su razdvajali kanal koji su isko- pali Rimljani, a danas su ova dva ostrva po - vezana mostom. Ovaj kraj je još posebniji po šarmantnom Susaku, jednom od retkih pešča - nih ostrva. Sledece ostrvo na Kvarneru je Rab – bogat mediteranskim grmljem i peščanim plažama. Ali pre nego što krenete da istražujete sve le - pote Kvarnera, sletite u Rijeku i otkrijte ovaj grad, čija arhitektura od gotike, preko baro - ka do austougarskog uticaja otkriva bogatu istoriju. Iako ima burnu prošlost, Rijeka pulsi - ra dinamičnim ritmom svakodnevice, koji ćete možda najbolje osetiti u samom centru grada, na uvek živom Korzu. Sedite da popijete kafu, dok ljudi, slike i događaji prolaze pored vas... Kad se ugase svetla i mnogi gradovi utihnu, Rijeka intenzivno živi u klubovima i restora - nima s izvrsnom gastronomskom ponudom. Sigurno ćete uživati i u manifestacijama kao što su Noći riječkih trgova i plaža i Leto na Gradini , a u junu ne propustite Fjumanku , vre- me kada se riječka luka pretvara u marinu pre - punu brodova, a pohode je svake godine zalju- bljenici u more i jedra iz brojnih zemalja. Neodoljivа lepotica Kvarnerskog zaliva
