Skrbčići is a peaceful village on the western part of Krk island, located in the scenic Šotovento region. The name, meaning 'under the wind,' refers to the area's protection from the strong Bura wind, resulting in a mild climate and lush vegetation. The village has maintained its authentic rural character, with traditional stone architecture and a slow-paced lifestyle. The area around Skrbčići is a prominent center for olive oil production. Visitors can walk through ancient olive groves that surround the village and lead down to secluded coastal bays. The nearby Jert beach in Pinezići is well-known for its pristine turquoise waters and pine-shaded shores. Its location is also highly convenient, as it sits just a short drive from the Valbiska ferry port, the main link to the islands of Cres and Rab. Local taverns in and around the village serve traditional Krk island cuisine, such as handmade 'šurlice' pasta and world-class lamb. Skrbčići is a handy retreat for those looking for a quiet, rural base on Croatia’s largest island, offering easy access to both nature and maritime transport. It’s a place where the Mediterranean soul is still very much alive.
