💡 Tips
- Use the medicinal mud at Meline Beach, but don't wear your favorite swimsuit as the fine mud can permanently stain light fabrics.
- Soline Bay is extremely shallow and warm, making it the safest spot on Krk for families with toddlers to splash around.
- Hike the marked trail up to the hilltop town of Dobrinj early in the morning for the best panoramic views of the bay.
- Visit the nearby Biserujka Cave during the heat of the day to enjoy the natural underground cooling.
- Look for the 'Perilo' in the village, an old public washhouse by the sea that serves as a quiet reminder of local history.

Water temperature…
Čižići is located in the northeastern part of Krk Island, sheltered in the deep-cut Soline Bay. The village is particularly known for Meline Beach, which features a deposit of black medicinal mud said to help with rheumatic complaints. Since the water in the bay is very shallow, it warms up quickly in early spring and remains pleasantly warm until late autumn. The village has evolved from a small fishing and salt-gathering settlement into a popular destination for family vacations. The waterfront promenade invites strolling and provides a selection of restaurants serving local specialties such as šurlice pasta with goulash. The surroundings are characterized by pine forests and olive groves that provide natural shade. Not far from Čižići is the Biserujka Cave, one of Croatia's most visited caves, showing impressive stalactites and stalagmites. For active vacationers, the flat coast features handy conditions for stand-up paddling and kayaking. Thanks to the Krk Bridge, the village is easily accessible from the mainland and serves as a well-suited base for exploring the entire island.
