Kvarner is situated 120 miles (193 kilometres) southwest of the national capital Zagreb County, and approximately 120 miles (193 kilometres) northwest of Split.

The area around Kvarner is crisscrossed with fabulous things to see and do, from big-ticket tourist hotspots to quiet, secret places that are waiting just for you. Stop by the Mali Losinj Harbor and Cikat Beach in Mali Losinj, which is roughly 13 miles (21 kilometers) away from Kvarner. Another choice is to go to Veli Losinj. It's roughly 13 miles (21 kilometers) from Kvarner and is home to the Veli Losinj Harbor and St Anthony's Church.

Get some transportation head out to Rab, a regional center, situated approximately 9 miles (14 kilometers) from Kvarner. This bigger city offers a number of points of interest, such as Pudarica Beach, Rab Harbor and Frkanj Beach. Lopar Beach and Kampor Beach are a number of other attractions definitely worth visiting for those who have time to spare.

Travelers seeking out places for peace and reflection, will enjoy visiting the region's monasteries. History lovers will enjoy the area's fine old castles, war relics and monuments and historic bridges.

If you are after a break from seeing the sights, why not check out the local watersports? Canoeing and swimming are both well-established here. Pack your camera and join a knowledgeable guide for one of the guided nature walks, winery tours and city walking tours.

As your adventure finishes up, you'll be sure to bid the region a teary "Zbogom".
