Impressions from Rab

It's a rainy Monday, so I'm showing you a few photos from my short escape to the sea. This is Rab, Croatia. The island with a long history, very kindly inhabitants, good icecream :) It was my firts time on this island, but definitely not last. I loved it!


We rented an apartment in one of those houses.

Rab has a lot of riuns and churches. Did you know that Rab was a Roman settlement and 10 years BC Emperior Octavian Augustus pronounced it a municipum?

Rab has 157 km of bike trails, 144 km of walking trails and a very nice, big park. Flora enjoyed a lot!




I hope I brought some sun into this rainy day! Have a nice week.

  1. It is strange, but today I dreamed with your bags. I was in a new shop in city and discovered your bags. I don´t know how subconscient works, but it made me smile.
    Love Croatia...was there in 2002, few tourist, no like today, and so blue water. Those photos look great. Hope you had a great time.
    You were in Benasque?! What a coincidence!

  2. Videti je čudovito. Nisem še obiskala tega otoka, tako da si mi pričarala nekaj omamnih lepot s fotografijami. Upam, da si uživala.

  4. How beautiful! :D I live on an island too, but it is nothing like that. The ancient buildings are so interesting!

    Hope you had a nice time, Kristina!

  6. Lepo si pofotografirala in nas še malo poučila o zgodovini. Verjamem, da je kratek oddih zelo pasal.

  7. My goodness, this is BEAUTIFUL! :) Thanks so much for sharing... as you said on my blog - if it was not for you, I would have no idea what life there might be like. Great photography

  8. I don't need coin purses, so not entering there (although they are cute - but I'll let someone else go for them), but just checking out the rest of your blog... cool! I didn't even know the Romans were in Croatia at all. I had a Yugoslavian roommate in college (back when there was a Yugoslavia...) - her photos and stories from home were always interesting.

  9. Amazing island. Great food, nice people. Restaurants in Rab are heavily influenced by cuisine more typically associated with Italy. Home-made pizzas and fresh pasta and risotto dishes feature heavily on menus, along with a wide choice of locally-caught fish and seafood. Rab is an island of contrasts: on the north coast stretch the rugged hills of Kamenjak, while in the south, you will find beautiful sandy beaches and colourful Mediterranean flora and fauna.
