At the far north-east of Istria, just before Rijeka, is the famous seaside resort of Opatija located. With its magnificent boulevard, the exotic parks and colorful flower gardens Opatija exudes today a touch of the nostalgic Austro-time. A popular promenade, the Lungomare, runs about 6 km south from Opatija along the sea to Lovran. On this way, many luxurious villas and hotels are lined up.
An absolute highlight is the Christmas Opatija - a unique atmosphere!
