PRVIĆ OTOK KRK – ZLATNI OTOK uvod / introduction Površine 405,78 km², Krk je jedan je od najvećih otoka u Jadranskom moru. Najsjeverniji je otok na Sredozemlju i najbliži europskom kontinentu. S kopnom je povezan Krčkim mostom ukupne dužine 1430 metara, izgrađenim 1980., koji se svojim impresivnim izgledom skladno uklopio u slikovit otočni pejzaž. Blizina i dostupnost te prelijepe povijesne priče i zanimljiva prošlost čine Krk čudesnim i tajno- vitim, jednim od najposjećenijih otoka u hrvatskom dijelu Jadrana. Još je u antici nazvan zlatnim otokom – Insula Aurea, a zlatni su ovdje priroda, zalasci sunca, pješčane plaže, šume, kamenjar i krš, maslinovo ulje, vino i med. Otkrivati se ovaj prelijepi otok može u svim godišnjim dobima, mogu se upoznati njegova raznolika naselja koja skrivaju tisućljetne spo- menike kulture te muzeje i galerije, ili se njime može pješačiti romantičnim šetnicama uz more i divljim pastirskim stazama kamenjara s kojih se pruža veličanstven pogled na obližnje brežuljke i susjedne otoke Kvarnerskog zaljeva (Rab, Cres i Lošinj). Ljubitelji dobre hrane i vina uživat će u okusima poznate krčke kuhinje, u plemenitoj kapljici Vrb- ničke žlahtine i jedinstvenome morskom pjenuš- cu Valomet. Iskoristite prednosti koje vam pruža cijeli otok u punini svoje bogate i raznovrsne smještajne, turi- stičke te wellness, outdoor i ugostiteljske ponude. Zlatni otok Krk vas zove – neka to bude i vaš otok! DOBRO NAM DOŠLI!

4 KRK ISLAND – THE GOLDEN ISLAND

With a surface area of 405.78 km, Krk is one of the largest islands in the Adriatic Sea. It is also the northernmost island in the Mediterranean Sea and the island closest to the European mainland. The 1430 meter long Krk Bridge, built in 1980 and boasting an impressive appearance harmoni- ously blended with the picturesque island landscape, connects the island with the mainland. Its closeness and accessibility, along with the beautiful historical tales and its interesting past, make Krk both amazing and mysterious, one of the most visited islands in the Croatian part of the Adriatic. It was called the “insula aurea” or the Golden Island already in the ancient times due to its golden nature, sunsets, beaches, forests, rocky and karst landscape, olive oil, wine and honey. This beautiful island can be explored throughout the year. One can learn about the various island settlements hiding centuries-old monuments of culture, museums and galleries, or stroll along its romantic walkways by the sea, or have a hiking experience along the wild goat trails of its rocky surroundings offering a magnificent view of the nearby hills and the neighboring Kvarner Bay islands (Rab, Cres and Lošinj). Lovers of good food and wine will enjoy the tastes of the well-known Krk cuisine, the noble Vrbnička žlahtina and Valomet, a unique seaside sparkling wine. Take advantage of the benefits that the entire island offers you in its rich and diverse accommodation, tourism, wellness, outdoor and hotel&restaurant offer. The Golden Island of Krk invites you – may it be your island too! WELCOME!

18 Tijekom stoljeća otok Krk bio je pod utjecajem kultura / culture raznih naroda, a svako je razdoblje ostavilo du- boke tragove u životu, kulturi i jeziku njegovih stanovnika. Sva su otočna mjesta male oaze bogatih ostav- ština prirodnih, kulturno-povijesnih i duhovnih vrijednosti, čija zdanja danas posjećuje sve više turista.

Over the centuries, Krk Island has been influ- enced by various peoples, and each period has left significant traces in the lives, culture and language of its inhabitants. All the towns on the island are true little oases of the rich legacy of natural, cultural/historical and spiritual values, whose representative features and architecture are visited by an increasing number of tourists these days.

Sedam je varijacija čakavskog narječja hrvatskog jezika. Sedam je običaja, plesova i narodnih noš- nji.

Pučko glazbalo sopile prastari je puhački instrument, a dvoglasno pjevanje uz ovaj instrument u Istri i Hrvatskom primorju upisano je u UNESCO-v popis nematerijalne svjetske baštine u Europi. Sopile su i danas sastavni dio svih otočnih sveča- nosti, često vezanih uz crkvene blagdane i svece zaštitnike pojedinih mjesta. Bogatstvo otočnog folklora svake se godine predstavlja na ljetnom Festivalu krčkog folklora i Smotri sopaca otoka Krka. Poznati su koledarski običaji u karnevalskom razdoblju – Kolejani u Malinskoj (prosinac – siječanj) kada se priređuje veliki pir i izbor kralja i kraljice, Stomorina (uz blagdan Vele Gospe) u Omišlju, pastirski običaj Razgon (prve nedjelje u srpnju) u Vrbniku i dr.

Tradicijski način života otočana vezan je uz more (ribarstvo, pomorstvo, brodogradnja), poljoprivredu i stočarstvo, napose ovčarstvo, koji su se, uz ostale djelatnosti novijeg datuma, zadržali na otoku do danas.

34 We can follow the characteristic life of the Krk Island throughout history by analyzing the sym- bolism of number seven. In the 7th century, Croats joined the Illyrian tribes of Yapods and Liburnians and the Romans inhabiting the island, soon accounting for the majority of the island’s population. The seven historical island castles today serve as seven administrative units: the City of Krk and the Municipalities of Omišalj, Malinska – Dubašnica, Punat, Baška, Vrbnik and Dobrinj. There are seven variations of the Chakavian dialect of the Croatian language. There are seven customs, dances and folk costumes.

A musical instrument, and the two-voice singing style accompanied by “sopile”, which is characteristic of Istria and coastal Croatia, has been en- tered on the UNESCO’s list of non-material world heritage in Europe. “Sopile” remains today a feature of all island festivities, often associated with religious holidays and patron saints of particular towns/villages. The richness of the island folklore is presented each year at the Krk Folklore Festival and the Gathering of the Sopile Players of the Island of Krk. The koledari singing festivals are organized during carnival festivities - Kolejani in Malinska (December – January) featuring a large-scale cel- ebration and a selection of the King and Queen, Stomorina (on the Assumption Day) in Omišalj, a shepherds’ festivity called Razgon (the first Sun- day in July) in Vrbnik, etc.

The traditional island lifestyle is closely associated with the sea (fishing, sailing, shipbuilding), agriculture and stock-breeding, particularly sheep-breeding. These activities, along with other more recently introduced ones, have survived to this day.

35 Zlatnim otokom – Insula Aurea – Krk je nazivan još u antičko doba zbog obilja različitih plodova mora i zemlje. gastronomija / gastronomy Svježa riba, škampi i drugi rakovi i školjke i danas su nezamjenjivi u domaćoj kuhinji otočana, kao i mnoge vrste priloga od povrća. Sve je pripremljeno i začinjeno krčkim maslino- vim uljem izvrsne kakvoće.

Blagdanski objed gotovo uvijek će uključiti i jela od domaćega tijesta (šurlice – valcići, makaruni, njoki) s različitim umacima (žvacetom), a posebno je cijenjena krčka janjetina, domaći ovčji sir i krčki pršut koji nosi oznaku izvrsnosti.

Sva se ta izvorna krčka jela nude i na jelovnicima otočnih restorana, konoba i drugih ugostiteljskih objekata, koji pripremaju i jela internacionalne kuhinje. Gastro-ponuda jedan je od najjačih adu- ta krčkoga gostoprimstva i turizma.

Otočani će uz to popiti i čašu dobrog vina. Pre- poručujemo izvorno suho bijelo vino s kontro- liranim geografskim podrijetlom – Vrbničku žlahtinu. Od grožđa se pripremaju i različite vrste domaće rakije s aromatičnim biljem ili bez njega, koju, prema običaju, otočani uz suhe smokve nude kao znak dobrodošlice.

Dobar vam tek!

36 Thanks to an abundance of the fruits of the sea and soil that it offers, Krk was dubbed insula“ aurea” or the Golden Island already in the ancient times. Local cuisine is still unimaginable without fresh fish, scampi and other crabs and shells, or various types of vegetable side dishes. All dishes are prepared and seasoned with pre- mium quality olive oil made on Krk!

A holiday meal will almost always include dishes prepared from homemade pasta (šurlice-valcići, macaroni, gnocchi) in various sauces (žvacet). Krk lamb, homemade sheep cheese and Krk prosciut- to, holder of a label of excellence, are particularly valued.

All these authentic Krk dishes are also prepared by the local restaurants, taverns and other food- service facilities that offer international dishes as well. The culinary offer is one of the strongest at- tributes of the hospitality and tourism of Krk.

The locals will complement their meal with a glass of good wine. We recommend Vrbnička žlahtina, an authentic dry wine with a controlled designation of origin. Grapes are also used to prepare various types of homemade brandy with or without aromatic herbs, which the locals offer, together with dried figs, as a sign of hospitality and tradition.

Bon appétit!
