Supetarska draga

Supetarska Draga is one of the oldest island towns on Rab, surrounded by a necklace of uninhabited islets and their natural beaches. If you plan a day trip to one of these islands bring a picnic basket and water, as there are no bars and restaurants there, only sun, sea and sand for enjoyment.

Due to its long naval tradition (Draga means cove in Croatian) it is a favourite spot for mooring sailboats. It is also home to oldest benedictine abbey on the island, whose beauty appeals equally to tourists and religious people.

Depending on when you arrive, you might come across a food & wine event, as well as various sports or enterntainment happenings.

Lopar

Lopar

Only 12 kilometers from the town of Rab lies Lopar, otherwise known as Sandy Paradise, due to numerous natural sandy beaches in Lopar ( which are quite rare in the Adriatic) and a lot of romantic, hidden away coves to spend your holidays at.

Surrounded by a bunch of tiny islands and islets (Goli otok, Grgur, Lukovac and Školjić, to name a few) Lopar has a lot to offer to tourists and has been working on it for more than hundred years, that is why it garnered the Blue Sail award for the best little town in Kvarner bay.

Rab

Awarded many times as the best tourist destination in the Adriatic, the town of Rab sits on a narrow sliver of land protruding towards the mainland, bounded by ancient city walls and recognisable by four church towers that form the familir outline, depicting Rab as a ship with four masts: bell tower of the church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - the cathedral, the bell tower of the church of St. John the Evangelist (located near the ruins of the Church), the belfry of the church of St. Andrew the Apostle and the bell tower of the church of St. Justine. Further inland from the old town is a beautiful park called Komrčar, whose numerous paths wind around wooded hills all the way down to the beaches of Rab.

Saint Patron of Rab, St. Cristophor supposedly saved the island from attackers, earning the right to have his skull preserved in a reliquiary within the Rab Cathedral.

If you like, you could visit a large collection of sacral art at the Franciscan Monastery of St. Bernardin with two churches (St. Euphemia and St. Bernardin) where you can find pictures, valuable old books, ecclesiastical art, ethnographic collection, coin collection and a lot of other things.
