Apartments Kvarner
The Kvarner region of Croatia encompasses its major port, the home of naturism (thanks to a British king) and a UNESCO World Heritage site of exquisite natural beauty, as well as a host of other reasons to visit a region which does not yet have the international appeal of Istria or Dalmatia.
When the abdicating King Edward and Mrs Simpson asked to bath nude after lunch on honeymoon on the island of Rab, they could not have imagined what a trend they would set, for FKK tourism is now a major Croatian tourism industry, dating back to the naked royal visit.
Rab is the first of a series of islands in the region to be connected by seaplane, and the daily flights to Split are one of the world's great panorama flights. Other islands, including the nature reserve of Cres, Krk and Mali Lošinj are expected to join the network, as is Rijeka Airport, which is also expanding its international network for 2015.
The inland Kvarner jewel is undoubtedly Plitvice Lakes, a UNESCO World Heritage site for its astonishing lakes, waterfalls and micro-climates, and a destination which attracts more than a million visitors a year. With four distinct seasons, a visit to Plitvice is spectacular whatever time of year, and for different reasons.
Rijeka is a modern industrial city, and its proud shipping tradition is reflected in the fact that it is the home of the state ferry company Jadrolinija, and the port is a thriving hive of activity. A sort drive north is one of the Old Dames of Croatian tourism, Opatija, whose faded villas hark back to a different era and provide a wonderful contrast to the busy port town.
The mainland coast of Kvarner is dotted with old towns, beach destinations and little fishing villages, and destinations such as Lovran, Crikvenica and Karlobag are popular in the summer months. But if you are looking for a party, head to Novalja on the island of Pag.
