Itinerary
1
Slatina Beach
Listen to the story about the name Slatina and about famous people from Croatia whose names are written on the stars in the Croatian Street of Fame. Enjoy the wonderful view of the sea and the largest Croatian island. You will wonder if the sea is always so calm here, or if it is always so wavy.

Lungomare Coastal Promenade
Lungomare is a promenade by the sea built during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It connects three little towns, and the Opatija part is in the middle. We will walk around the Opatija part of the Lungomare and see several sculptures. The most famous among them is the Maiden with a Seagull - one of the symbols of Opatija.

St. Jacob's Church
From Lungomare, we will also take a look at St. Jakob Park. Here is the parish church of St. Jakob, the Madonna del Mare sculpture, the fountain of Helios and Selena and the art pavilion. From the Park of St. Jakob, we also have a view of the historic hotel - today's Imperial Heritage Hotel.

The Angiolina Park - Villa Angiolina
Between Hotel Kvarner and Park Angiolina there is a reconstruction of a former typical Austro-Hungarian bathing area. In the Angiolina park, the most famous landmark is the Angiolina villa (currently under renovation).
