Krk is one of the biggest Adriatic islands and we had been recommended to go and see it on our previous Croatia trip in 2009. Krk is also well known for its vineyard - something untypical for the region we stayed in.
We visited 4 places on the island: Vrbnik, Krk, Baška, Čižići mud beach.
What Radek grabs in hand is olive oil, made locally on the island. In general, before we even reached the centre of Vrbnik, we visited a vineyard called Katunar where we supplied ourselves with Croatian wine of many sorts.
Then we continued our wine cellars trip in the town of Vrbnik. In principle, wine was sold every 2 meters, so it took us really long time to move along the streets. I particularly liked one elderly man who was very very friendly with us and made us taste everything he had in stock. He also told some stories about how wine is made and what is important in wine production. Lovely.
Our next destination was Krk - the biggest city on the island. We strolled around the place, but it was relatively deserted due to the siesta hours. Krk has a very nice marina, as well as the old part of the city, so we just strolled around, having a cup of iced cofee every now and then.
Spot number three on Krk's map was Baška. It's a very small town, yet very very crowded with tourists. The central point in Baškais undoubtedly beach and it's adjacent promenade. We sunbathed and bathed in the sea. The main attraction for us was a floating wheel carried after a motorboat. Unfortunately, I didn't take part in the ride (I didn't have any bathing suit), but all the guys were delighted. Such a pity that no one fell down to the water...
And at last we arrived at Čižići mud beach. The sun was already low over the horizon and there were not so many people around. Maybe it's good that few saw what guys did on that beach :)
Ps - If you ever wonder how the mud smells... The answer is - putrid.
