The Kvarner Gulf is the area in Northern part of Croatian Adriatic, bordered by Croatian mainland and Istrian Peninsula. Kvarner is one of the closest points of Adriatic Sea to Central and Western Europe, therefore, because of it's vicinity and mild climate.The Kvarner Riviera is home to a number of well-known resorts and islands, as well as Rijeka, one of Croatia's larger cities. Opatija has been a holiday resort for more than 100 years, when it used to host well-to-do Austro-Hungarians, and is still considered something of an upmarket resort today. The islands of Krk, Cres, Losinj, Rab and Pag have something to offer everyone - from the beautiful, lush vegetation of Losinj to Pag and its popular party resort of Novalja.
