About this experience
The classic Krk Island sightseeing tour includes a walk through the old town of Krk, where we will unravel the rich history of the town and the island. This is followed by a visit to the Franciscan monastery on Košljun islet - a place of peace and harmony with a centuries-old tradition of preserving heritage and culture. The islet boasts a beautiful monastery with a small forest and paths, as well as a very interesting sacral, ethnographic, biological, and archaeological gallery. Afterward, we will visit either Vrbnik or Baška. Vrbnik is known for its Žlahtina wine, its cultivated fields, cliffs, and a printing press. Baška preserves the oldest written monument of the Croats. Besides Baška's literacy being the oldest in Croatia, tourism also took root early here. Thus, Baška is one of the most popular destinations in Croatia, and in addition to its large beautiful beach, it hides many cultural attractions and natural walking trails.
