About Island Rab

The happy Island of Rab sits in the middle of the Gulf of Kvarner, accompanied by dozens of other Croatian islands. Like the Croatian coast itself, this 22 kilometers long and 11 kilometers wide island stretches northwest-southeast and is separated from the mainland by the Velebit channel. Rab has a rich history with many historical figures. Settled by Illyrians in 350 BC, Rab became an ancient Roman municipality in the 1st century BC and developed into the center of the eastern coast of Adriatic, called Felix Arba. The Island of Rab has more sandy beaches than any other place in the Adriatic sea, along with many beautiful rocky beaches paired with some of the cleanest and clearest sea imaginable.
