Baška is one of the most desirable destinations on the Croatian
Adriatic. Its favourable location allowed it uninterrupted
development and prosperity, and in the present a recognisable face
on the tourism market.
Situated in a gentle valley, in a bay surrounded by vineyards,
olive groves and Spanish broom plants, with a picturesque backdrop
of the rugged peaks of the Velebit mountain chain and the islet of
Prvić, Baška seems to be protected from all sides. Its unique 1,800
metre-long white pebble beach is a recipient of a Blue Flag for
environmental preservation. This beach is rightly referred to as
one of the most beautiful on the Adriatic Sea.
During your stay in Baška you will come to recognise a tourism
tradition with a history over 100 years in the making, and at the
same time enjoy the content that makes Baška a modern tourist
destination.
All of those who have the spirit of adventure will find a piece
of privacy and solitude on one of the thirty small pebbled beaches
that can be reached on foot or by boat. One of these could become
your small paradise in a stunning and preserved natural
environment.
Baška remains an untouched and preserved jewel of natural
beauty. Those in search of stunning landscapes, flora and fauna
will have an opportunity to enjoy beautiful animal species both on
land and in the sea.
Mrgari are unique to the landscape of the island of Krk. They
are vast expanses used a sheep pens, fenced by drystone walls that
form a flower shape. These man made stone formations, preserved
especially on the rugged plateaus above the Baška valleys, are a
real adornment to the rolling Baška countrydside.
It is also known far and wide for its bora wind, which in
combination with an endless landscape of medicinal herbs, offers
healthy living to all of its inhabitants and visitors.
Baška has a rich heritage of history and culture. Prominent
among them are Early Christian finds dating from the 5th century,
and the renowned Baška Tablet, the best-known and oldest monument
inscribed in the Croatian language, St. Lucy's Abbey (Sveta
Lucija), and other ancient churches and chapels. Also to be found
here is a valuable ethnographic collection in the heritage museum.
The Baška Aquarium offers a unique experience of submarine life in
the Croatian Adriatic. The aquarium is also home to one of the
largest collections of Adriatic shellfish and sea snails in
Croatia.
Baška…its impossible to come once, and to not come back
again.
