💡 Tips

  • Having a car or scooter is highly recommended, as public transport options to this rural village are very limited.
  • Bring some cash in small denominations; local farm stands or tiny village shops might not accept cards.
  • It gets very dark at night, making it great for stargazing, but remember to bring a flashlight for evening walks.
  • Stock up on major groceries in larger towns like Krk or Malinska before heading to your accommodation.
