There are also plenty of activities to choose from; rent-a-boat, diving, hiking, cycling, quad biking, zip-line, horse riding, daily boat trips…, you can find more information here  www.tz-krk.hr/en/active-holiday

 

BOAT EXCURSIONS

We would recommend taking boat excursions to the nearby islands. There are a lot of boats to choose from - you can book them along the Krk city promenade.

We recommend the boat “Riba T” - they offer one-day tours where you can join fisherman while they catch fish with those huge nets. When fishing is complete, you will enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters while they prepare fresh fish for you on the boat. They tend to go in a smaller group, cca 20 people.

​

You will find good selection of fish in the centre of Krk at the fish store (ribarnica). Note that the best selection is in the morning, so try to be there before 9am.

​

You can get quality meat at any grocery shop, but for a fresh local meat go to the butcher shops (mesnica) in the centre of Krk, inside supermarket building you will find a few, we recommend "Mesnica Toma".
