Other things to note Opatija – "The Beautiful" on the Croatian Riviera Opatija is a Croatian coastal town on the Adriatic Sea – formerly also called "Abbazia" in Italian. The city was once a popular spa town and sophisticated seaside resort (19th century) and especially appreciated by the Viennese nobility. Opatija therefore has many villas from the Habsburg era. The statue of the "Virgin with the Seagull" is not only the symbol of Opatija, but of the entire Kvarner region. It stands elegantly on a rock in front of the waterfront promenade and makes all guests curious about its interesting history and identity. Lungomare – Where Emperor Franz-Josef strolled with his Sissi Lungomare is a 12 km long historic coastal promenade overlooking the sea and the cities of Opatija and Rijeka as well as the neighboring islands. The Lungomare passes by dream villas, park-like gardens, historical monuments and churches, 5-star hotels, cafes, restaurants, konobas that invite you to linger, as well as luxurious marinas and small fishing ports. Swimming coves and bathing facilities every 50 m to refresh yourself in the sea; dog bathing coves are signposted. Distance to Opatija, sea, beach 2.9 km. Small romantic fishing ports in Volosko and Lovran with beautiful fish restaurants Lovran – Our favorite town on the coastal road, about 12 km away with an idyllic small fishing port, restaurants and the best ice cream parlor on the coastal strip - delicious, in our opinion. Coastal town of Ika on the Lungomare Wonderful atmosphere in Ika Bay overlooking the opposite mainland and Rijeka. We particularly like and enjoy the following here: - "Romero" in Opatija – breakfast, pizza, bread, cake to go - Restaurant "Ruzmarin" in the city of Opatija with a small smoking lounge - Cafe "Wagner", coffee/chocolate specialties right on the waterfront under palm trees - "Konoba Ribarnica", fish and seafood urban on the only navigable street in the beloved fishing district of Volosko - Restaurant "Plavi podrum" creative Mediterranean cuisine at the port of Volosko - Trattoria "Mandrac", Istrian cuisine and gin at the Volosko harbor - Restaurant "Kinkela" near Iris, within 15 minutes' walk of the summer house with stunning sea views and traditional Croatian cuisine in Bregi - "Kanoba Ribica", fish and seafood at the old football stadium in Rijeka - Restaurant "Kvarner" – Fish & Grill in the fishing port of Lovran - Ice cream parlor Lovran – creative ice cream partly without sugar/flavors - unfortunately expensive Original Croatia cooking on the island of Krk An exploration and excursion to the island of Krk with original Croatian cooking class can be booked directly with Marija.
