The Opatija Riviera is 43 km long
and it is filled with marvelous nature, parks, promenades, old Austro-Hungarian
villas and beaches. Austro-Hungarian aristocracy built spacious villas in the
19th century and spent their winters here due to the extremely mild local
Mediterranean climate.
The heritage of the aristocratic life style from the times of the Empress Sissy
still permeates the building styles of Opatijan villas. Those villas are now
hotels near Lungo Mare, the famous 12 kilometre long promenade in Opatija by
the sea.
Groomed parks with charming specimens of autochthonous flora cover large areas
of the town. If you take a pleasant stroll through the parks you will
experience the history and the present of this picturesque place. Be sure to
visit the nautical centre in Ičići, the tourist destination Lovran, Mošćenička
Draga will thrill you with its 2km long pebble beach. For nature and quiet
lovers, the town of Medveja is
the ideal place for you!
