Kvarner is our oldest tourist area, where 150 years ago members of the European aristocracy enjoyed their vacation. Kvarner is positioned in the bay, hence the name "Kvarner bay." It's well known tourist destination is the beautiful Opatija, whose striking architecture, parks, villas and a long promenade along the sea attract visitors all year round.
Kvarner islands, situated in the Kvarner Bay, are characterized by mild Mediterranean climate and the easy, slow pace of island life. There one can still feel the spirit of past times, hear the specific dialect of the locals and enjoy the fragrance of herbs that grow everywhere. They say that even the island's air has curative caracteristics.
The hinterland of the Kvarner Bay is a mountainous region covered with forests - Gorski Kotar. Mountain climate and easy lifestyle is fundamentally incompatible with gorgeous Mediterranean climate and fashionable lifestyle. The contrast of hot and cold, luxurious and simple, active and slower within a few miles are a strong attraction element.
