The town of Krk is situated about 25 kilometers from the Bridge of Krk once a Roman municipality and the seat of the principles Frangipani, today is the historic center, administrative, political, economic and religious center of the island.

The walls surrounding the city of Krk, ancient, restored several times from the Middle Ages under the direction of the Republic of Venice. They were reinforced in height and thickness, for centuries have protected the lives of citizens but with the change of fighting techniques lost their original significance. Now they are pride of the city.

There are four gates that allow access to the town of Krk, they are open now and invite people to cross them and visit historic buildings and shops with local crafts.The houses outside the walls have been developed in recent decades.

Tourism has had and has an important role in the recent development of the town and the local community is aware of it. Besides being the main town of the island and also the largest one with lots of services including restaurants, pubs, ice cream points, pizzerias along the harbor among the alleyways of the city.

The exhibitions and the fairs as well as the usual souvenir shops help to maintain an atmosphere of joy and celebration. Women can always easily find something to buy, it's a destiny. The products and services offered, from cotton candy to our bio-products, honey-vinegar, honey, honey brandy, wine and other honey bee products, soaps with herbs of the island of Krk. The net-cafe for some years are present in large numbers for those who can not give up to navigate or feel lonely beeing away from the office and some one them propose also network games. Along the quay of the port is organized a lively and colorful market interesting stop for all the wives and girlfriends.

The beach of Dražica is my favorite, for the comfort, ease of access and services. Step required to reach the beach dedicated to the dogs. I arrive to the town of Krk by car, park a car between the pines (take a look for the resin), and start pleasure walk with my wife. It's comfortable because you have the shadow, small bar for the drinks, the opportunity to rent umbrellas, deckchairs and the sea. You should also consider seriously the possibility of take a ride on a donkey that now is part of the town's landscape.
