💡 Tips

- Bring water shoes as the entry to the sea is mostly rocky, even in areas where the seabed becomes sandy further out.
- The beach in Vantačići is west-facing, making it one of the premier spots on the island for sunset views.
- Embrace the 'Polako' (slowly) lifestyle; things move at a relaxed pace here, especially in the local taverns.

Vantačići is a pretty coastal settlement on the west coast of Krk Island, located in the wooded bay of Dubašnica. Originally a small fishing village, Vantačići has evolved into a popular destination for travelers seeking peace away from the major tourist centers. The town is connected to Malinska by a beautiful waterfront promenade, good for long walks or cycling tours directly by the sea. The beaches in Vantačići are diverse, ranging from small pebble bays to flat rocky plateaus inviting sunbathing. The water here is particularly calm and clear as the bay is well protected. A special feature nearby is the Franciscan monastery in neighboring Porat, which houses a museum with Glagolitic inscriptions and an old olive press. This cultural highlight provides an insight into the region's long history. Culinary-wise, visitors in Vantačići can enjoy local specialties, including fresh fish, homemade olive oil, and the typical šurlice pasta with lamb goulash. The atmosphere in the village is family-oriented and relaxed. There are no loud discos; instead, cozy terraces invite you to end the evening with a glass of Vrbnička Žlahtina wine and the sound of the waves. Vantačići is the first-rate place for a relaxing holiday with the whole family.
