The Town Krk is the administrative and political centre of the island of Krk in Croatia. Old town is inside the town walls built in Roman times and in the middle ages.
According to last census in town Krk live almost 6000 people. With many restaurants and bars city is today center of the island night-life. During the day it is easy to find many excursion boats in the port. Most interesting excursions are; Prvic – small island, Rab - island south from the Krk, Goli otok – former communist jail. From 7 till 9 August in city is traditional feast and these are the best days for visiting town. All city becomes big market place but we recommend visit to the local galleries and shops with authentic souvenirs.
Apartments in private accommodation and hotels are situated eastern from the city. Here is also old main city beach.
Towards camp Jezevac are situated partly concrete beaches. On the other side, towards hotels are natural inlets surrounded by pines. Beaches are mostly concrete with sand in the sea.
