Traveling is a difficult task. First you have to choose your destination, than how to arrive there, what to see and finally where to stay. There are so many options and possibilities. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is to rely on recommendations of people who have been there before you.

Generalturist, a Croatian travel agency that is highly positioned on the Croatian tourist market and has been for more than 80 years, has listed on their web site the top 10 the best accommodation in their comprehensive offer based on the grades and personal experiences of guests.



The highest position No. 1, and the best ratings got Hotel Zvonimir in Baska on the island of Krk (photo above). Author of this blog could not agree more with the choice of Generalturist’s customers. This hotel is highly recommended and it is a perfect place for a beach holiday. Rooms are spacious, well furnished and equipped, the whole hotel is kept immaculately clean. Service and the restaurant are first class. Right next to the hotel there is a beautiful and spacious wellness center with indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, massage and beauty center.

Beautiful long pebbly beach is located right in front of the hotel and spreads all along Baska. It is one of the most known and beautiful beaches of Croatia, called Vela Plaza or Great Beach. It can be quite busy during peak of the season, but if you prefer more secluded beaches, you don’t need to worry because there are plenty of them in Baska’s surroundings. There are taxi boats taking you there or if you prefer some recreation you can walk. Baska is also known as a great place for hiking as there are about 30 miles of marked hiking paths. It is also a good place for windsurfing because of favorable winds.

Baska is a nice charming place (direct link to Google map) with many café bars, restaurants and little shops. It can be a good place as a base to explore the island of Krk which is connected with the mainland by a spectacular bridge. Visiting the town of Krk and the town of Vrbnik are highly recommended.

How to reach Krk island?

And the best of all, although Krk is an island, it can be reached very easily. If you travel by car, you don't need a ferry because the island is connected to the mainland by a spectacular 1.534 m long bridge.
If you travel by plane it is good to know that Rijeka's International Airport is situated on the island of Krk (www.rijeka-airport.hr, www.dohop.com – flight planner).
Krk is also easy reachable by a bus. There are plenty of buses from Rijeka which stop in all the towns from Omisalj in the north to Baska in the south (www.autotrans.hr). Krk can be also reached by a bus from Zagreb (www.akz.hr) either directly or via Rijeka. If you travel from Italy, there are regular bus lines between Rijeka and Trieste.
Rijeka has also good train connections with Zagreb (www.hznet.hr).

The main ferry line serving Krk Island is the ferry from Valbiska to Lopar on Rab Island but it only runs from June to September. Otherwise there are ferries all year round from Valbiska (Krk Island) to Merag on Cres Island. See the schedule at Jadrolinija (www.jadrolinija.hr), Croatia's ferry company.
