The island of Krk, the second largest island in Croatia, has borne the name the Golden Island since ancient times due to its mild climate, lush vegetation, and favourable location in Kvarner Bay. The proximity to the mainland and transport connections make it an attractive tourist destination.

Krk is an island of culture and a cradle of writing, as evidenced by numerous monuments, museums, religious buildings such as the medieval old town of Krk, the Baška stone tablet, the Franciscan monastery on the island of Košljun, etc.

Owing to environmental projects and the systematic care for cleanliness and environmental protection, Krk is also an island of Blue Flags that adorn the towns of Krk, Baška, Malinska, Njivice, Omišalj, Punat and Marina Punat, Glavotok, and Šilo. The island of Krk is a golden destination for foodies who can experience the best of the local cuisine, paired with Žlahtina, a noble wine variety that thrives only in the Vrbničko Polje karst field. 

 

This Adriatic jewel is a year-round destination that, just like a goldfish, makes every wish come true. Families looking to spend some quality time together, divers and anyone who loves to explore the world beneath the sea, boaters, adrenaline junkies and active holiday enthusiasts – there’s a little piece of heaven waiting on the island of Krk for just about everybody.

Peloid can be applied to the affected part of the body or to the whole body, and before and during the therapy it is warmed by the sun’s heat. Also recommended is bathing in the warm seawater and sitting for some time in a warm ambience. The first research of peloid in Soline cove was made in 1965 upon the initiative of a doctor from Thalassotherapia in Crikvenica. At one time peloid was used for therapeutic purposes with good results, however, due to the problem of transport in Crikvenica and the return of the peloid to the source, it soon came to an end. The next study was in 2003 when 19 locations were investigated. It was confirmed that it corresponds to a group of underwater loose sediments of a fine-grain structure, created by the silting and settling in salty seawater and that it belongs to a group of salty, slightly sulphuric sea muds and that could be used for health purposes.
