Day 1: Opatija To Krk

Welcome to Opatija! After meeting and greeting our Contiki crewmates at the beautiful harbour this morning we’re headed on our boat to Krk Island. We’ll enjoy lunch onboard as we cruise towards Krk, the largest of the Kvarner islands with immense variety of villages, gentle green promenades, bare rocky wilderness, tiny isles and hundreds of hidden bays and beaches. We’ll stroll through the old city centre and admire the huge cathedral complex, before settling in for the night.

Day 2: Krk To Rab

This morning we’re hopping on our bikes for the first time, taking a cycling tour through the lush Mediterranean vegetation, olive groves and dry-stone walls to the biggest field on the island - Vrbnik field, which produces an iconic golden-yellow wine - the Žlahtina. A rest is well-earned, so we’ll kick back for a while and have the chance to taste some wine, cheese and prosciutto. Feeling refuelled and refreshed, we’ll journey onto Punat Valley, with spectacular views of the island of Košljun. Back in Krk we’re headed to Rab Island - known as the ’island of love.’ As the evening draws in we’ll find out why, falling head over heels with the romantic harbour, medieval walls, Romanesque church towers and ancient facades.

Falling in love with every inch, we’ll then make our descent to the ship for lunch. After refuelling it’s time to hop on our bikes again to tour the greenest part of the island - a thickened area called Dundo. Feeling the heat? We’ve got you - it’s time to take a swim in the picturesque bay of St. Mara. It’s a hard life.Hike: 11 kmDifficulty: 4/5Bike: 16 kmDifficulty: 1/5

Winding through ancient olive trees and even more ancient stone walls we’ll do our best to avoid the many wandering sheep. This place is world-famous for its cheese so it’s a good idea to get stuck in along the way. Upon arrival in Novalja, we continue our cruise to the island of flowers - Ilovik.
