Luxury vacation on Kvarner

Kvarner is a narrow strip of land between the sea, Ucka, and Velebit mountains. It has a culinary heritage shaped by Austrian and Italian influences. Rijeka is the largest town, but Opatija, with its Biedermeier villas, top restaurants, and the beautiful Lungo mare promenade stands out and it is no wonder why they refer to this town as a Pearl of Adriatic.
