City with a small, partially walled historic center and thousand year old soul. Views from many of it's ramparts, towers and forts over the Kvarner bay to the south, or Gorski Kotar mountains to the north. Great climate, usually a few degrees cooler than Rijeka during the summers. Clean, tidy and well organized, you can enjoy wandering it's tight streets and narrow passageways then suddenly enjoy the magnificent, panoramic views over the surroundings. Many restaurants and caffes in and around the town.

Beautiful town above Rijeka. Gorgeous views wherever you look. Only down side...we had a storm roll in. Otherwise, on a clear day the views would have been even better (if that's possible)

We normally get to eat in one of a few nice restaurants in Kastav and normally have a qick walk round taking in the views and old buildings.

It's a small town near Rijeka, up in the hills. My friends took me there in the beginning of October when there is held a small festivity called "Bela nedeja". Through the whole city you can find a lot of stands with home specialities, and their local music is being played all the time. I've had a lot of fun, definitely you should visit it and feel the atmosphere. :)

A surprise on our holiday visit. A short taxi ride from Opatija (around 7km, taxis are cheap in Croatia - the trip cost around £7). We went for 2 nights. On the Friday we saw a Slovenian band called Fake Orchestra, producing blues/jazz influenced versions of traditional Slovenian folk songs. On Saturday night we saw a Macedonian blues band called Crossroads Blues Band (not a particularly inventive name) with a fabulous blues harp player who both looked and sang like Lemmy. Headline was the British band, King King. Good, 'modern' blues with a lively frontman (in a kilt) who really had the crowd going. Fabulous performances, a real holiday bonus.

Nice for walk, relax and sightseeing:) Old churches, houses, tiny streets, beautiful sea view and forest walk.

Kastav is a charming hilltop town with pretty much everything: Far fewer tourists than neighboring Opatija, great restaurants, spectacular views of Kvarner Bay and cooler air in the hot summer months.

A small hilltop town above Rijeka and the Opatija riviera. It is a must visit in case you do holidays in the Kvarner bay.. You can see the Crekvina (ruins of an old church, the city gate, old town houses, the church, some galleries...In case you are more active you can do a hike on the signed forrest path, between 5 - 15 km. After that I suggest a Pizza at the Loža restaurant.
