Ika

Ika is a small fishing village near Opatija, between Ičići and Lovran. A hotel and a faculty of hotel management keep the village lively throughout the year.

Traditional coastal festivities provide entertainment late into the night, while the seafront promenade leading to the beautiful "old lady", Opatija, is ideal for walks in the fresh sea air. Ika offers beautiful pebble beaches and traditional coastal cuisine. In recent years, it has become known as one of the most desirable destinations for a peaceful holiday in Kvarner.

Lovran

Lovran is a town with a rich history and a century-long tradition of tourism. It takes its name from the laurel (Laurus nobilis), which grows abundantly in the evergreen groves in and around the town.

It lies on the eastern coast of Istra, in Kvarner, at the foot of Učka, the greenest and most richly vegetated mountain along the Adriatic. It is 19 km from Croatia's largest port, Rijeka, 14 km from the railway station in Matulji, and 80 km from the airport in Pula.

To the north and west, it is sheltered by high mountains: Učka (1,396 m), Snježnik (1,605 m) and Risnjak (1,528 m), while the islands of Krk and Cres lie offshore. This setting offers exceptional protection from the winds. In winter, the prevailing wind is the bora, which blows from the north and brings clear, cold weather. The sirocco brings rain and high humidity, while the summer mistral carries refreshing air from the open sea, easing the heat and mugginess.

Lovran has preserved its historic centre and medieval street layout. The old town was once surrounded by a defensive wall and bastions, with houses built on their foundations and walls over time. Its courtyards are a charming and distinctive feature of Mediterranean urban architecture. Through the stone gateways, neighbouring facades come into view, adorned with steps, porches and external landings, while stone cistern heads stand at the centre of the courtyards.

In the 21st century, Lovran's rich historical heritage, well-preserved natural surroundings and established infrastructure provide a foundation for renewed tourism growth, supported by sustainable development and respect for all environmental standards.

A favourable climate, lush Mediterranean vegetation and an advantageous geographical position encouraged rapid tourism development at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Since then, Lovran, alongside Opatija, has been a leading destination on the renowned Riviera. Several villas built during that period form part of the world's architectural heritage.

The climate is Mediterranean with continental influences.

The distinctive microclimate allows Mediterranean vegetation to flourish. Along the coast, in addition to laurel, the following grow in abundance:

• Palms.
• Magnolias.
• Various species of evergreen shrubs.
• Downy oaks.
• Stone pines.
• Cypresses.

Above Lovran, cherries, grapevines and olives thrive in terraced gardens, while the deep, leached and acidic soils support extensive sweet chestnut forests that produce the famous large Lovran chestnuts.

The abundant vegetation and high sea salinity enrich the air with plant-derived and marine aerosols. Together, these elements make Lovran's climate invigorating and beneficial to health.

Opatija

Opatija is a beautiful coastal town on the Adriatic Sea and a well-known destination for visitors from around the world. It is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery at the foot of Učka.
