Our next destination was Croatia, and the first city we visited was Opatija. It is a Croatian coastal town on the Adriatic Sea. It was a fashionable resort in the 19th century, dotted with Habsburg-era villas.
Opatija is a Croatian coastal town on the Adriatic Sea. A fashionable resort in the 19th century, it's dotted with Habsburg-era villas.
The Lungomare is a promenade that snakes along the coastline, offering views of the town and neighboring islands. There were many statues along the way.
The 1800s Villa Angiolina, set in a garden of exotic plants, houses the Croatian Museum of Tourism. Parts of St. Jacob's Church nearby date from the 16th century. The contents displayed in the museum, however, were disappointing at best. They should not collect the entry fee.
Wherever we go, the time of eating meals is always the highlight.
Most of the group went on an optional tour to a different town, but we were glad we stayed in town because it was raining the whole day. We enjoyed this little town with a lot of free time. - Jeffrey
