Novi Vinodolski travel guides

Novi Vinodolski- overview

Locatedin the Vinodol valley opposite Krk Island, this small tourist resort is much favored by tourists who are in search of mild Mediterranean climate and mountain - sea combination, but also traces of Roman presence in the area. Thus, you can see the Roman fortress "Lopsica", Frankopan citadel, Holy Trinity and St. Marin chapels, a library dating 1845 and a museum and gallery.

These remains that tell part of the place’s history add to the charm of the place.

The resort enjoys fresh air throughout the year as traffic is minimal and there is nothing to pollute the air like factories and the mountain air is quite strong. These grant Novi Vinodolski a great ecologic advantage as well as making it a tourists’ heaven. Besides the natural advantages, there are a lot of manmade facilities to make your stay as pleasurable as possible so you can choose from: swimming pools filled with seawater and other recreational and sports facilities.

The restaurants are plentiful and you don’t have to worry about getting the right dish for you.

Of course, most of the tourists get here by car but the little port can host a lot of boats for the ones that prefer traveling this way. They have all the facilities they need in the port as well as on land. There are all the amenities you’d find in a small town.

There are no sand beaches but there are pebble beaches suitable for children. Take care though that you and your children wear rubber sandals on the beach as well as when you enter the water as there are plenty of sea hedgehogs that can sting pretty badly if stepped on.

Close to Plitvice National Park, Novi Vinodolski makes for a great base camp for visiting the park which is only a few km away.
