Croatia 🇭🇷, Crikvenica

Crikvenica in Croatia is a small town with a population of about 10 thousand people. The resort is located on the western coast of the Adriatic Sea (Kvarner Bay) at the foot of majestic mountains. 

Its popularity as a place to relax began to grow at the beginning of the XX century. Crikvenica today is a favorite resort for many Europeans for recreational and active recreation. A distinctive feature of the city is the presence of a sandy beach, which is very rare for Croatia.

Crikvenica appeared on the map as a settlement in the XV century and owes its name to the church (in Croatian crikva), built here in 1412. The tourist boom in the town began in the XIX century, and in 1906 it was officially declared a climatic resort.
