Dear Guests, friends of Crikvenica. It is my honour and privilege to welcome you to Crikvenica, a town that has always belonged to Europe. During the many years of it’s tourist history Crikvenica has been and has remained one of the most popular summer resorts of the Mediterranean. It has been visited by a great number of world-renowned personalities as well as by numerous tourists who have discovered during their visit the reasons and the need to come back again. That is why I wish, dear guests, that you should enjoy your stay and return to our Crikvenica again.

THE TOWN OF CRIKVENICA

Crikvenica is situated in the Kvarner bay of the Adriatic Sea, at a distance of 33 km from Rijeka, a major road and railway junction at the centre of the district of Primorje and Gorski kotar, also home to Crikvenica. The entire town of Crikvenica is in fact a Riviera with a row of almost connected small tourist resorts: Selce, Crikvenica, Dramalj and Jadranovo. The town spreads about 28 square kilometres in the coastal zone, which is about 15 km long and about 2 km wide, and is situated between the sea and the elongated littoral reef at an average height of about 300 m above sea level. The nearby airport on the island Krk, the passenger and the cargo sea ports in Rijeka, as well as a good road and railway connection with Central Europe have contributed to the early development of tourism which has in the region of the present Riviera of Crikvenica a tradition of more than one hundred years.
