Kostrena

Kostrena is a small coastal town between Rijeka and Bakar. The area of ​​Kostrena also includes a number of smaller settlements, such as Vrh Martinšćica, Rožmanići, Glavni, Paveki, Dorčići and Sv. Lucija. Kostrena has been nurturing its maritime and shipping tradition for centuries and had given some of the most famous seafarers in Croatia. As Kostrena’s coastline features beautiful beaches and hidden coves, it is not surprising that it became a very popular tourist destination over the years. Among the most beautiful beaches in Kostrena are those in the bays of Podražica, Spužvina, Žurkovo and Perilo. The crystal clear sea that laps against the shores of its pristine beaches is slightly more refreshing due to the freshwater springs located under the water surface. Thanks to the torrents of water that found their way through the karst rock into the sea in, the area around Kostrena is known for its many caves and pits and a true challenge for speleologists and many adventurers. Kostrena has as many as 8 caves and pits, amongst which the Urinj cave is the longest and cave Mali Štumbur the deepest one. In addition to beautiful beaches and interesting caves, nature lovers can enjoy hikes to the prehistoric forts of Solin and Sopalj or head to the magical national park Plitvice Lakes, which is world-famous for its beauty. Those in search for somewhat more challenging hikes should not miss a visit to the national park Risnjak. Accommodation in Kostrena is available in modern apartments, holiday homes and villas by the sea. Treat yourself to a dream vacation and discover the beauty of Kostrena.
