Experience food on Krk (Croatia)

During our stay in Krk we visited this time again the rustic restaurant "Tri Maruna" in Poljica. How small it looks from the outside, but the dining experience is so unique in this restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant is like being transported back in time. The walls and ceilings are covered with ancient traditional tools and everyday objects. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is extraordinary friendly. The dishes are prepared fresh and taste really delicious. Also got it's bitters for appetite stimulation to.The "fog" on the first image comes from the smoke of the wood stove in the restaurant.

Franciscan Monastery Glavotok (Krk, Croatia)

At the southwest end of the island of Krk is located on a small rock in a beautiful location, the Franciscan Monastery Glavotok. It was built in the 15th Century and contains beautiful paintings. You can also look inside the marble altars. Unfortunately, we could see this only through the glass of the door, because the church was closed. But the view from the outside of the monastery shows the idyllic location.

 

Starfishes

During our dives around Krk we saw several starfishes. Whether bright red or covered with spines form they are always a great photo opportunity, which moves especially not so quickly.

Ride on Krk (Croatia)

In search of the sun and to beautiful dive sites we went to Croatia. Unfortunately, the island of Krk has received very heavy rain and wind. After the rain has abated somewhat we did a little tour of the island and saw among other places the beautiful towns Vrbnik and Baska. Unfortunately, the vineyards have fallen victims to the heavy rains. Nevertheless, we have found a few nice shots along the coast.

Diving around Krk (Croatia)

Diving in the sea around Krk is always a pleasure. There are so many different dive spots. With the divecenter "Divesport Krk" these highlights can be received for example by the speedboat. The island Plavnik is offshore the coast of Krk with lots of very nice dive spots. One of these is for example "Mali Plavnik" with a very pretty wall.

"Krucija" with its "love cave" and a lots of fishes is also near Plavnik.

There are also some shore dives like this in "Sv. Marak".
If you are lucky this beautiful snail will cross your way.

One of the most beautiful walls can be seen in "Selzine" near the island Cres. Thousands of corals and sponches can be viewed on a depth of 30 to 35 meters and furthermore sometimes a very beautiful specimen of scorpion fish like this.

"Kormati" (known as bird island) is also a spectacular place for divers and for crabs;-)

Many wrecks can be seen around Krk like this small one near Plavnik. The speedboat was shot by the police in the 1980ies, because there were some smugglers on board. So today this place is called "Mafia Bay".

City of Krk (Croatia)

Krk is the most important city of the island Krk. It is one of the oldest holiday resorts on the Adriatic Sea. With the historical city Krk is a magnet for tourists from all over the world. Walking through the old alleyways or dander along the harbor is a must in Krk. There are also lots of possibilities for shopping and of course you have a excellent choice of many restaurants with Croatian and fish gastronomic specialities.

The sea near Krk (Croatia)

Sometimes the sea is so glassy that it seams that the sea and the horizon are getting blurred. Only the boat makes some waves which dissapers in the eternity.
