The old town of Krk

The first thing you should do is visit the heart of the island, the city of Krk. Its architecture is influenced by the Roman Empire and ecclesiastical powers throughout history. It's worth paying a visit to the Cathedral de la Asunción and its two churches, Santa Margarita and San Quirno, as well as the bell tower dating back to the eighth century, the Frankopan castle, the Torre Square, the Mercados Square and the Town Hall from the fifteenth century that has been adorned with a Renaissance fountain. Walking through the narrow streets in the old town is a pleasure, with white walls and flowers everywhere. You can also drink a glass of wine as you try the local island cuisine at one of the many bars and restaurants in the old town. In some of the squares in the old town during July and August there are concerts, theatre and dance performances. If you want to stay in this area hurry up and rent one of our central Krk apartments because the demand is high and the supply is limited.
