Many travelers appreciate the chance to stop for swimming and snorkeling in clear waters—ideal on a hot Croatian summer day.
Stopping at the island of Krk itself is a highlight. You might explore its quaint villages, visit historic sites, or simply enjoy the tranquility of a secluded anchorage. If you rent a skipper, they can suggest scenic routes or charming spots to visit, making the experience even more relaxed.
