Where is Rabac?
The Croatian resort of Rabac is located in a cozy bay of the Kvarner Bay on the Istrian peninsula. The Adriatic Sea describes an elegant loop at this point, separating the mainland of Croatia from the island of Cres. The unique landscape of the tourist area is defined by the water caves in the rock rings that have emerged on both sides of Kvarner, the Učka mountain range (1401 m), and fertile grape valleys.
The population of Rabac is about 1500 people. During the season, the town receives up to 10,000 tourists from all over the world. The national currency is the euro (EUR).
History of Rabac.
The first settlers from Croatian tribes on the territory of the modern Istrian resort area appeared in 599-611. Six centuries later, Istria was completely subjugated to the influence of Venice, and in the 18th and early 19th centuries, it was subjugated to the French Empire of Napoleon I.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the English writer Richard Burton, traveling on the peninsula of Istria, discovered the amazing beauty of a small fishing village of ten houses. Impressions of his vacation were reflected in the famous novel "Istrian Coast". Since then, the cozy Croatian province has become an attraction for tourists from all over Europe.
The town of Rabac, founded by the Italians between the two World Wars as a vacation spot for workers, has now become one of the world's most democratic resorts with an incredible Mediterranean flair.
