💡 Tips
- If you are there in mid-June (around June 13th), celebrate the Feast of St. Anthony with the locals, there's often traditional music and fritule.
- Use an e-bike for trips to the sea in Malinska; the ride back to Sveti Anton is uphill and can be tiring in the summer heat.
- Visit the oil mill near Malinska to learn about Krk's centuries-old tradition of olive oil production.
- Follow the 'Olive Trek', a network of walking paths that lead through ancient groves directly into the village.
- Book ahead for dinner in the taverns of neighboring villages (like Milohnići), as they are very popular with foodies.
🍽 Food
Krk's typical handmade pasta, best enjoyed in the family-run taverns in the island's interior (Šotovento).
This ham is dried in the Bura wind and rubbed with wild herbs, a unique aroma.
A crisp white wine from the island; ask for the 'house wine' directly from the barrel.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Award-winning oil from the immediate neighborhood; visit the estate for a tasting.
Look for small signs saying 'Sir' at the farms in the Šotovento area.
Traditional ceramic wine jugs found in the craft shops of Krk Town.
A remote pebble beach surrounded by giant oaks, good for those seeking peace.
A Franciscan monastery right on the sea; the surrounding shaded coves are usually very peaceful.
In Malinska, walk past the first section; after about 15 minutes, you'll find secluded rocky plateaus.

Sveti Anton is located in the interior of Krk Island, in the area known as Dubašnica. The village is named after the chapel of St. Anthony, which serves as a central point in community life. Its location is good for those seeking the peace of rural Krk while still appreciating proximity to tourist centers like Malinska. The surroundings are defined by old oak forests and extensive olive groves that produce some of the island's best oil. Many of the old farmhouses have been converted into luxury villas while maintaining the original Mediterranean style. Hiking and cycling trails connect Sveti Anton with surrounding hamlets and lead down to the coast with its hidden bays. The climate here is slightly milder than directly by the sea, which is especially pleasant in peak summer. Nearby is also the Porat monastery, famous for its Glagolitic stone monuments. Sveti Anton features a first-rate blend of tradition, nature, and modern comfort.
