Kvarner
Centering on the deep Kvarner Gulf, the Kvarner region has a balmy Mediterranean climate and pristine sea. As a result, in the 19th century, Central European aristocrats and artists began vacationing here, and Croatian tourism began here. That being said, it has evolved into an excellent yacht charter destination in the Mediterranean.
The biggest city is the mainland port of Rijeka, and the most popular destination is Opatija. From here, you can sail around Krk, Cres, Lošinj, and Rab islands. Expect turquoise waters, fragrant pine forests, and elegant Art Nouveau architecture. This area is just east of the Istrian Peninsula, where you can visit world-class vineyards and taste unique wines and olive oil.
