About Rab - General Information about Rab in Kvarner - Croatia
The Island of Rab covers 93.6 square km. It is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic and probably one of the most magical ones. It is covered with pine forests and has beautiful sandy beaches, and is well known for its mild climate which differs from the mainland. The reason for this is that three ridges are present which protect the island from cold winds from the Velebit mountain.
The main resort, the town of Rab, is full of medieval buildings, built during the Venetian rule, which occurred since the 13th century. The old town walls are still visible in some places.
Other than the small town of Rab, there are 7 idyllic places on the island situated on different parts of the island: Barbat, Banjol, Palit, Kampor, Mundanije, Supetarska Draga and Lopar.
