The island of RabKVARNER GOURMET - 1 scampiVilla – Restaurant Barbat, Rab

Secret recipe kept for centuriesIt was first served back in 1177, but its recipe has been a well kept secret for centuries. It is the Rab Cake, a sweet with a home almond heart. The historical documents that reveal how to make this symbol of the island of Rab- the emerald isle, still exist. Namely, in the 12th century Pope Alexander II visited Rab - Felix Arba. The white city decided to welcome the Pope with the highest honours and to host him in the best possible way, with the finest dishes and drinks. In his honour, the Benedictine nuns prepared this cake made up of almonds with a hint of liqueur and a thin veil of dough whose thickness reminded of the host from which it was originally made. The filigree work that lasts for two days and its distinctive snail form also speak of its uniqueness. The taste of this sweet delicacy probably reminded Pope Alexander of his childhood and the Mediterranean of his native Sicily.

CRIKVENICA-VINODOL RIVIERA

Place of good energy Back in 1888, the first public wooden flooring beach was built in Crikvenica that marked the beginning of the development of tourism. The tradition of health tourism in Crikvenica-Vinodol has been developing since then. In Novi Vinodolski there is the largest wellness centre in this part of Europe. At about 30 kilometres connected series of beaches and natural, green hinterland, traditions that gave rise to the first Croatian Code – Law Codex of Vinodol dated from the 13th century are interrelated with the variety of modern tourist attractions and some of the most famous Croatian beaches. Excellent geographic location and good transport links are just a few of the prerequisites of centennial tourism development. Along with that, this area is characterized by fishing tradi-tion, still present in everyday life, as well as centuries old viticulture and winemaking tradition that gave name to Novi Vinodolski. Visit Municipality of Vinodol, Jadranovo, Dramalj, Selce.

The Little Rose of Vinodol, Novi Vinodolski, Vinodol (August 18 - 20)During the time of the Frankopans, at the end of the grape harvest, the Little Rose used to be chosen among the female pickers in the vineyard – the most beautiful and the most diligent girl. Crowned with a wreath made from the grapevine, with the music of some old folk instruments, she would lead the parade of pickers to the town. Nowadays, the Little Rose of Vinodol Contest is a great celebration of wine of the Vinodol region. Contestants compete in the games in Pavlomir Vineyards and in Town of Novi Vinodolski. All is accompanied by wine fair, folklore and entertainment program.

ISLAND OF KRKVrbnik, Dobrinj, Krk, Omišalj, Njivice, Malinska, Punat, Baška

Golden IslandThe island of Krk in every way justifies the name - Golden Island. Golden drops of olive oil from the olive groves around Punat, golden sunsets, rich historical heritage as well as well - preserved folklore, and amazing enter-tainment programs. All this makes the golden basis of this island. The island of Krk is the cradle of Glagolitic medieval script cherished to this day, the island of the noble Frankopan family. Krk will fascinate you with its beaches, beautiful and diverse nature, small rural towns that have retained the charm of some other time. But there is also a whole range of entertainment options, diving, biking, hiking, water skiing. Krk will also win your heart with its gastronomic delights that, except for olive oil, include the award-winning Krk cheese, prosutto, cottage cheese as well as high-quality indigenous wine Žlahtina.

ISLAND OF RAB Rab, Lopar

DO NOT MISS • To peek into the nooks and crannies of the histo-

ric stone town - allow yourself to feel the beauty of four bell towers, Rab Cathedral from the 12th century, the Upper and Middle Street, Knežev dvor, the Town Lodge

• To sail into the stories and legends of Rab – like tho-se of the shepherdess Draga and Kalifront

• To rest in a green protected Komrčar forest park that continues the historic town of Rab

• To feel the warm sun and sand of Rajska plaža (Pa-radise Beach) - an award-winning sandy beach in Lopar is ideal for families with children

• To enjoy the domestic organically-grown products of local producers – products of lavender, honey, honey brandy and the finest homemade chocolate

Happy Island – Felix ArbaNoble, proud, emerald ... All of this is the island of Rab. Felix Arba or happy island as Rab was called by the Ro-mans. Is the flattering epithet that has been attributed only to two cities on the entire Croatian coast... Find out why! Surreal panorama of the old town of Rab with its recognizable 4 bell towers stretching above its skyline, many patrician houses, Crossbow contests of the me-dieval knights even nowadays are vivid and alive in the stone town of Rab. Moreover, the emerald island fasci-

DISCOVER • Barrens of the island of Goli - not the infamous Alca-

traz, but one of the most infamous prisons in Europe after World War II

• Amazing shapes created by nature - geological park Geopark Rab that covers a range of different geomor-phological sites. Start from Lopar to take the Premu-žić Path and then Rab-Maman Path.

• The best view – you will have to climb to 408 metre- high Kamenjak hill. However, it is really worth it!

• Where the British King Edward VIII and his beloved Wallis Simpson used to bathe on the peninsula Fr-kanj in 1936. They got the permission of the city authorities to swim naked and thus, sowed “seeds of nudism”

nates with its blend of stone landscapes that remind of the lunar surface, centuries-old holm oak forests and fertile fields where its inhabitants still nowadays cultivate indigenous varieties of vegetables. The island is surrounded by some of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, and CNN declared the beach “ Sahara” in Lopar as the world’s top destination for nudists.

Rab Fair, Rab (July 25 – 27)The return to distant mediaeval past is possible by ta-king part in a memorable event Rab Fair. History, cul-ture, tradition, old skills and knowledge are intertwi-ned in the staging of life of the famous Felix Arba in the 14th century and the festival which was then con-ceived. Rab Fair begins with a spectacular opening parade of Rab Crossbowmen, city gents and folk, and the second day of artisans spread out along the stone streets of the town to show the ancient crafts and workshops. All culminates the last day with the Knights’ tournament in honour of St. Christopher’s Day. In this mediaeval contest of Rab Knights, Rab Crossbowmen measure their firm hand and a sharp eye by handling a genuine crossbow.

Croatian Apoxyomenos is one of the few Greek sculptures that once graced the ancient Greek sanctuaries and citi-es, especially gyms. The sculpture dates from the period between the 2nd and 1st century. It was raised from the seabed off the islet of Vele Orjule near Lošinj. After extensive conservation and restoration operations, Apoxyomenos (h.192 cm) has been located in the eponymous new mu-seum in the city centre of Mali Lošinj since April 2016.The sculpture represents a naked young athlete who has just completed his bout or exercise caught at the moment of re-laxation totally absorbed in scraping oil, sweat and dust from his body (Gr. Apoxye-ses) and hence the name Apoxyomenos.
