The Island of Krk
There are many reasons why Krk is termed the golden island. The first is because of its wealth in the
fruits of nature: in virgin olive oil, a glass of the-sun streaked wine that goes by the name
of "Zlahtina", in the lambs that graze alongside the old dry stone walls, the commotion caused
by schools of fish attracted by the lamplight fishing boat.
The second reason is due to its Glagolitic heritage, since Krk is Croatia's Glagolitic center.
|
The third reason lies in the richness of authentic historical tales originating on the island and
borne witness to by the remains of ancient monuments, in the castles of the Frankopan feudalists,
or the museum collections of the Kosljun monastery. The fourth, but by not means the last reason
is Krk`s rich tourist treasury. Guests discovered this island as long ago as the 19th century.
Even down to this day they have not ceased enjoying its beaches, its hidden coves and gastronomic
delights and the gifts of its autochthonous cuisine. Tourist towns are: Omisalj, Njivice, Malinska,
Krk, Punat, Baska, Vrbnik, Dobrinj and Klimno.

The Island of Cres
Cres is an island imbued with a weird kind of magic. Here, it is as though one has been transported
back in time. Nature has remained untouched for thousands of years, offering its visitors aromatic
scents of Mediterranean plants, and a sight of the white headed vulture, a bird now extinct in most
other European countries.
Walking through the narrow town streets of Cres it is as though you are walking back into days of yore,
entering an ancient world.

Man's history on this island dates back some two, three and,
for some civilizations, over four thousand years. With its olives, cheese, wine and beaches,
who would want return to reality?

while the winter offers tranquility and a pleasant climate, providing relaxation to the senses and
refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Island of Losinj
Losinj is a favorite of Helios, being one of the sunniest islands in the Mediterranean. Here too,
man has left his indelible mark, leaving century-old pine forests, parks and a treasure trove of
valuable objects transported from all parts of the world, bequeathing them to today's visitors to
enjoy and admire.
The islands mild climate attracted Austrian royalty in the 19th century- the grandiose villas and
hotels remaining as visible witnesses to this fact.

|
It is here that the blue bloods abandoned
themselves to the sea in the Suncana, Srebrna, Zlatna and similar coves. Some come here following in
the footsteps of the famous visitors of times long gone, while others follow in the wakes of the many
dolphins which grace the waters along these shores. Tourist towns are: Osor, Nerezine, Veli Losinj
and Mali Losinj.
