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 hrvat- skom 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.

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 land- scape, 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 is- lands (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 en- tire island offers you in its rich and diverse ac- commodation, tourism, wellness, outdoor and hotel&restaurant offer.
