About the destination
Baška — more than a beach
"It's easy to get to Baška — but hard to leave."
Sheltered on three sides by rocky ridges, Baška on the island of Krk has always captivated adventurous spirits. The unique karst landscape, canyons, winding coastal trails and the Moon Plateau above town make this destination truly extraordinary.
The Baška Tourist Board has built one of the most developed outdoor networks on the Adriatic — from easy family walks to demanding MTB marathons and trail races, all less than 2 hours from Zagreb.
Things to do
