The sometimes harsh but always beautiful terrain of Kvarner is remarkable. The Plitvice Lakes are the region's
number one attraction. 16 cyan lakes surrounded by soft green forests and inter-connected by dramatic waterfalls,
Plitvice is one of Croatia's must-see natural sites. Along the coast, imagine yourself an aristocrat of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire while promenading past the grand hotels of the 19th century in Opatija. Kvarner also
marks the beginning of Croatia's archipelago of over 1000 islands. The islands Krk, Cres, and Lošinj all
offer peaceful breaks from larger resorts. Kvarner's largest city is also Croatia's third largest city -
Rijeka is the primary seaport and important industrial center for the country.
