On holiday in a holiday home in Kvarner? The Croatian coastal region of Kvarner (also known as the Kvarner Riviera) is known for its beautiful beaches, rocky coasts, stylish seaside resorts, and many small islands. But apart from that, it also offers a rich and unique combination of climate, vegetation and culture. The interior of Kvarner is characterized by highlands and rugged mountains. Between the coast and the highlands, there are historic towns, natural parks and thermal baths.
Holiday homes in Kvarner, for the peace and nature lover

You will find more authentic restaurants, quieter seaside resorts and small fishing villages here. Kvarner offers good diving opportunities, but for independent divers, because you will hardly find any diving schools and centres here.
