Vrbnik above the sea

The old town of Vrbnik is a great location for Instagram spots. Vrbnik is a picturesque town rising from the sea on the eastern part of the island of Krk. Vrbnik is a captivating sight from any corner. When exploring Vrbnik and its hidden beauty, you will feel its Mediterranean charm with every step. You will find perfect shots for your Instagram profile while walking through the historic city center and its medieval stone-paved streets filled with various interesting details. 

 

The narrowest street in the world

There is a special street in this labyrinth of narrow and winding stone-paved streets of Vrbnik because only some can pass through it. That is Klančić, one of the narrowest streets in the world, only 40 cm wide. So if you are one of the lucky ones who manage to pass through it, do not forget to capture that moment. The narrowest street in Vrbnik is an Instagram spot and a moment to record. 

 

Soline Bay

This is another exciting Instagram location that calls for a selfie or, even better, a cool "muddy" photo with your family or friends. The photo of Soline Bay will surely earn you many "likes." One of the most visited beaches during the summer months, Meline beach, is located in Soline Bay. It is unique because of its healing mud, whose beneficial properties helped many, especially those suffering from rheumatic pains. So visit Soline Bay, take a couple of crazy Insta photos and, at the same time, do something good for your health. 

 

View from peak Veli Vrh is a perfect Instagram location

One of the most famous viewpoints on the island of Krk is Veli vrh, a peak situated 541 m above sea level. The view from the top is breathtaking and unforgettable, stretching to the entire Punat Bay, the tiny island of Košljun, the town of Baška, and the rest of Krk island. If the weather works in your favor, your photos taken from Veli Vrh could become a social media hit. 

Beach Vela plaža in beautiful Baška

One of the most popular beaches on the island, called Vela plaža in the town of Baška, is magnificent in its length and width. Besides being one of the prettiest, this 2 km long sandy-pebble beach is also one of the longest. So your shot of this Instagram location simply needs to contain the changing shades of a crystal clear turquoise sea, the beautiful cliffs of Velebit mountain, and the view of islet Prvić.

 

Beach Oprna near Stara Baška

We remain in the beautiful and diverse southern part of the island of Krk. Many islanders will agree that beach Oprna is one of the prettiest beaches on the island of Krk, even in the whole of Croatia. This sandy-pebbled beach is located in a bay near the small town of Stara Baška. Even though the paths leading to beach Oprna are narrow and steep, it is worth visiting. Make sure your camera batteries are full, memory cards still have free space, and start taking photos. There are countless exquisite sights, whether you are coming by sea or land. 
You can find many unique Instagram locations on different hidden beaches of the island of Krk and the surrounding islands, which you can only reach by boat. There is always an option of a private taxi boat trip or group boat trips

 

Instagram locations along the Moon's path in Baška

Moon's path, a favorite among the promenades of the island, leads to the Moon Plateau, a unique site in Croatia and beyond. Suppose you have a great desire to visit the Moon, but you, like most, are hindered by financial possibilities. In that case, we recommend visiting this beautiful alternative.
A visit to the Moon Plateau will be a perfect outdoor activity that will, at the same time, give you the feeling of visiting another planet, even just for a moment. Along the path, you will have the opportunity to record the magical landscape of Baška and the surrounding islands. When you reach the Moon Plateau, you will enter a different world and realize the magnificent forces of nature. We do not doubt that your photos of this Instagram location will be phenomenal and provoke online envy. Most importantly, the photos of the Moon Plateau will give you the memory of being a "Man on the Moon."

 

Košljun island

The small island of Košljun, located in Punat bay and reachable only by boat, is becoming increasingly popular among tourists and it’s another great Instagram spot. The rich cultural heritage, the unique atmosphere, and the striking synergy of man and nature are just some of the reasons for its popularity. The whole island resembles a museum, and all the earnings from ticket sales go to the monks who reside on Košljun.

Aside from the magnificent 15th-century Franciscan monastery, the rest of the island is covered with rich forest, a perfect place for a peaceful walk, meditation, and exploration. On Košljun, you will find 485 different plant species and 150 species of mushrooms. Enjoy the amazing scents of aromatic plants and the sound of birds chirping. We advise that you charge your battery, empty the memory card and start photographing. At first, the synergy between man and nature might not be visible to some. Still, you will definitely feel and experience it.

Mirine – Fulfinum

Are you a history fan and often dedicate your social media feeds to researching and learning about history? Then you should expand your photography collection with scenes of a 5th-century early Christian basilica. Right by the sea in Sepen Bay near Omišalj still, stand the remains of the ancient Roman city Fulfinum Mirine with a longitudinal basilica in the shape of a Latin cross. This basilica is a great Instagram location and interestingly, it’s the only sacral building of this kind on the island of Krk and the largest in the Mediterranean. The ancient Roman town of Fulfinum is still largely unexplored and unexcavated. Maybe you are the one who will discover something new and photograph the evidence!?

 

Historic city centers hide many Instagram locations

The historic city centers of Krk, Vrbnik, Omišalj, Baška, and Dobrinj…offer countless Instagram locations perfect for photographing. Their narrow cobbled streets are full of history and sights dating back to olden times or somewhat more modern history.
 Clustered stone houses typical for Mediterranean architecture, small museums, galleries, souvenir shops - everything looks like you are in a picture book. The historic city centers are especially vivid and picturesque during the summer when these small streets come back to life and become the setting for many exciting events. We hope that these scenes will evoke a feeling of warmth, love, and respect for past times.
