The
town of
Rab
Croatia
also boasts a long recorded history that dates back to the year 10 BC,
when it is mentioned in an old Roman document by which the Roman emperor
Octavian. Augustus proclaims it a muncipium and grants it independence.
If we
enter the town through one of the town gates, e. g. the "Zlatna vrata" (Golden Gate)
we will be attracted by the uncommon peace of the "Gornja ulica" (Upper
street). To the right, towards the way out to the park Komrčar there is a
"belvedere" on the old tower and the Church of St. Christopher - the Saint
patron of the town.
It is the
southernmost of the islands in the bay of Kvarner, with a mostly
Mediterranean vegetation. When you have left the bare, somewhat savage
looking ferry
harbor
of Mišnjak, the island begins to be seen in a completely different light.
The vegetation is luxuriant, and, because of the Mediterranean climate, as
well as with the indigenous holms or holly oak, it is covered with
evergreen forests.
Rab
Croatia is
linked to the mainland with good road-ferryboat connections.
To the south, ferryboats on the route Mišnjak - Jablanac (a place 105 km. far from Rijeka) sail
8-20 times a day (even more frequently, if necessary) during the whole
year. The journey lasts 15 minutes. From Jablanac roads branch off towards
Zagreb, Pula, Ljubljana and Trieste.
The
Croatian coastal towns and cities are served by ferry and ship services.
The inhabited islands are linked with the mainland (and some of them also
with other islands) by ferry/ship services. During the summer, the
frequency of ferry sailings is usually increased and fast hydrofoil
services are added.
The summer sailing schedule normally remains in operation from 31 May to
28 September
