Yacht charter Opatija
Opatija was one of the traditional, fashionable seaside resorts of Austria-Hungary. Besides Sissi and Franz, many artists and noblemen in the 19th century liked to spend their time in the residences, villas and hotels of the town, which still exude the flair of this era. Many of them have been extensively renovated in recent years and Opatija's coffeehouses have also regained their former splendor. Before starting your yacht charter in Kvarner Bay, do not miss the opportunity to stroll along the 12 kilometers long waterfront promenade "Lungomare" and take a look at some of the beautiful parks in town. Good restaurants and a rich cultural offer add to the attractiveness of the base.
Opatija is located in the northwest of the Kvarner Bay, and the nearest yacht charter destinations are the islands of Cres and Krk. For longer yacht charter cruises the archipelago off Zadar and the Kornati islands are close to the islands of the Kvarner Bay. Alternatively you can sail to Pula at the southern tip of Istria and from here discover the beautiful west coast of Istria.
