Why wouldn’t you want to see the seabed as well as sightseeing the island’s landscape?
If you are used to diving, or you have perfected your diving skills in one of the island’s diving schools, we are pleased to offer you organized diving trips to the wrecked Greek ship Peltastis, close to Šilo, which made its last voyage in the 1860s.
Apart from the Peltastis wreck close to Šilo, the seafloor of the island of Plavnik also conserves another wrecked sailing boat which most likely dates back to the period of Napoleonic rule.
So, take a dive under the sea, amongst its secrets and encounter a completely different world…
Today, diving is one of the most famous sea sports in Croatia. Many divers in the Adriatic are highly attracted by numerous captivating locations as the sea here is full of ancient boats, corals and other animal and plant species.
The northern part of the Adriatic is visited a lot because of the shallower sea and richer vegetation.
During your stay on the island of Krk, you can, even as a beginner, learn the basics of correct diving, and the more experienced among you can visit attractive diving locations where they can see a number of old ship wrecks from days gone by, gardens of gorqonia, caves, steep rocks…
The island of Krk offers diving tours to 8 nearby islands, with 40 different diving locations which even for the most demanding divers promise unforgettable moments:
The island of Krk is full of natural beauties both above and below the sea. It is revealed by steep cliffs, almost completely without vegetation on the northern and north-eastern parts to the milder gentle green areas and bays on the southern and south-eastern parts of the island.
Even if the barrenness and inaccessibility of the north shore with its high and steep cliffs in itself provokes awe, the underwater are highly accessible diving locations available to all divering categories.

In addition to Krk Bike Story, Krk Food Story & e-bike is another interesting programme that blends active holidays with gastronomy. Numerous restaurants, which can be easily reached by electric bicycles, participate in the programme.
The island of Krk has been developing sustainable and responsible tourism. It puts great emphasis on environmentally friendly tourism which is extremely important in branding the island as an eco-destination.
Around 80 electric bicycles are available for use throughout the island, and bike rental stations have been set up in the town of Krk and all Krk municipalities. The e-bike rental system is networked so you can rent an e-bicycle at one location and return it at another. This way, all municipalities and the town of Krk are connected into a single e-bike network.
Apart from stretching along the coastline, i.e. the promenade we call lungomare, bike trails also pass along the busy roads of the island’s interior.
There is a bike trail along the reconstructed road from Krk to Malinska, separated by greenery. It stretches along the section from the turnoff for Valbiska to the entrance to the town of Krk.
Maps:
Walking trails are mostly lungomare trails perfect for relaxing walks along the coastline dotted with bays and coves, while hiking trails range from easy to more difficult ones.

Hiking trails also stretch throughout the interior of the island, far from the busy roads and provide insight into cultural, historical, ethnographic and other island attractions. In addition to recreation, nature lovers are thus able to get to know the island’s history, culture and flora & fauna.
If you are a hiker, attracted by mountain peaks, be sure to head to Veli vrh (541 m) and the highest peak of the island – Obzova (568 m), which you can reach by marked trails from Punta and Draga Bašćanska. When you reach the top, enjoy the peace, tranquillity and unforgettable views.
Following the 200-metre long Glagolitic Path, from Gabonjin (near Dobrinj) to the Church of St. Peter, and the Baška Glagolitic Trail, you will relax and enrich your knowledge of the Glagolitic alphabet.
The 20-km long mountaineering bypass “Paths of Dobrinjština” with its eight checkpoints is definitely worth a visit. It winds through an area of diverse plant communities and picturesque villages (starting from Šilo to Dobrinj and then descending back to Šilo).
