Opatija
Old dame, or Queen of Tourism - these is a few of the names given to this city, which celebrates its 160th anniversary of tourism tradition in 2004. Its beauty and elegance are passed on to each guest, and many tourists keep returning to Opatija every year for the rest of their lives, claiming that they simply feel wonderful in the city. Every year, the quality of over twenty hotels facilities is raised a notch and soon this will be the city with the highest overall category of hotels on the Croatian Adriatic.
Opatija is located in the Gulf of Kvarner in a sheltered position at the foot of Učka mountain, with Vojak peak at 1401 m. Opatija is located 90 km from Trieste by rail and 82 km from Pula by road. The city is geographically on the Istrian peninsula, though it is not in Istria county, but Primorje-Gorski Kotar county.
It is a popular summer and winter resort, with average temperatures of 10°C in winter, and 25°C in summer. Opatija is surrounded by beautiful woods of bay laurel. The whole sea-coast to the north and south of Opatija is rocky and picturesque.
