Located in Croatia, the city and seaport of Rijeka lies on the Kvarner Bay which is an inlet of the Adriatic Sea. The city is surrounded by mountains and sea and visitors to the city can expect a typically Mediterranean climate, especially during the summer months. This is especially the case along the coast to the east of the city at Pecine and Kostrena, and also to the west at Kantrida and Preluk. In contrast, in the winter just 10 km from the city visitors can enjoy a spot of Alpine skiing. In fact the ski slopes can be seen from Kvarner Bay.
The city has enough things to see and do to keep most tourists occupied for a day or two. Sites to see include the Austro-Hungarian buildings that line the city centre. Collectively they give the city a distinct old European feel. There are also a number of interesting churches and museums that are worth visiting. The 13th century Trsat Castle, located on a hill overlooking the city, is impressive and during the summer is a great place to visit especially as the castle's courtyard has been turned into a restaurant.
The city's port has a passenger terminal with 11 piers and serves 200,000 passengers per year, largely traveling on services to nearby islands and other ports along the Adriatic coast.
The Croatian island of Korcula is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic sea and is also one of the most popular destinations in Croatia. The island's name was originally Korkyra Melaina (Black Corfu) and was given to it by the Greeks who named many of the Croatian islands. The name was perhaps given to the island in reference to its densely wooded terrain. The island has a rich cultural and artistic heritage and is also a nature lover's paradise with many tucked away beaches and coves, uninhabited islands and stunning views. The island's main town is also named Korcula and is a typical medieval walled Dalmatian city, with its round towers and red roofed houses.
The town's Old Town is a walled medieval city that is situated on an oval-shaped piece of land that sticks out into the Peljesac Channel. The Old Town itself is characterised by narrow streets that all stem of the town's main street. The fish bone shape was used in Korcula Old Town design to reduce effects of wind and sun and to provide its inhabitants with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. The architecture in the Old Town is mainly influenced by Venetian Renaissance, although there are also some fine examples of 1930's architecture.
