Rab- the island of happiness

In the vicinity of the popular islands of Cres and Krk, another one in a series of beautiful islands on the Adriatic whose popularity is growing… is Rab Island! The beautiful landscape of the island, coolness of the water and the charming old Mediterranean town will capture you from the very first! The town holds the same name as the island and the picturesque streets in town come back to ancient times and shine on the cultures that left a great mark on this area…

 

Interesting fact about the island is that the Romans named it “The Island of happiness”! Felix Arba. You must be wondering what is the reason why they picked this island from all the other islands and gave it such a beautiful epithet?

 

It is one of the sunniest places in Europe and numerous promenades, the scent of healing herbs and cycling paths confirm the fact that Rab is also one of the greenest islands of Croatian Adriatic! Who would not love to visit our favorite tourist oasis

 

Beautiful Rab island is surrounded by many other islands and islet’s…and the romantic town abounds in history that is tangible due to the great number of cultural sights. It is also known for its abundance of water and a large number of beautiful sandy beaches and picturesque coves! The famous tourist center with a pleasant warm Mediterranean climate attracts a large number of guests and the original tourist offer will certainly not disappoint you! An ideal city for a family vacation or a romantic getaway! The Croatian National Tourist Board awarded the town of Rab first prize for quality tourism and it also won the prize for the most beautiful square (St Christopher’s Square).

What makes tourist offer even more appealing is the excellent traditional food!

Friendly locals will show you the best places to try delicious authentic specialties and will unselfishly reveal all secret tasty ingredients they use when cooking traditionally prepared Mediterranean food. We have to mention the specialty of the island…popular Rab cake was declared the most original souvenir. It is a traditional Croatian cake recognizable by the richness of the flavor of almond and cherry liquor! Don’t miss a chance to try it!

 

A large capacity of quality accommodation, hotels, camps…and the wide choice of sports and leisure activities that you can enjoy on the island affect the statistics and satisfied guests who come back year after year in a bigger number!
