Opatija
Historic seaside resort on Croatia's Kvarner Gulf, Opatija sits right on the water with a café and restaurant scene that would suit a town twice its size. The town's 19th-century architecture reflects its origins as an Austro-Hungarian retreat, and its Mediterranean climate draws visitors well beyond the summer peak. Scenic viewpoints in the surrounding hills add to its strong visual appeal, and the wider region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites within reach.
