Rab

A typical medieval town encircled by walls, a former Roman settlement that was awarded the status of town by Emperor Octavianus Augustus who proclaimed it a municipality 10 years B.C. Every building here recalls decades of generations, and the Renaissance and Gothic portals are surmounted with coats of arms of noble Rab families, whose descendants are your hosts today. On St. Christopher's square refresh yourself at the fountain with two sculptures, of Kalifront and the shepherdess Draga, figures from a legend about lost love. Enjoy in the numerous music and stage performances, gallery and street exhibitions. Do not miss a visit to the park Komrčar overlooking a long promenade and the bathing resort. You can spend your holidays in the shade of centennial pines, fragrance of resin and sea blueness, without renouncing all the facilities that a town can offer. There are many sports-recreational facilities in store for you: diving, water skiing, surfing, rent a boat, jet ski, pedalos, aqua-gun, parachute, tennis, beach volley, indoor football, basketball, hand-ball, cycling, mini golf, bowling, walks... During one of the many unforgettable boat excursions observe the sea bed, the island world "Apsyrt", go fishing or to a fish-picnic, try out canoeing and rafting, visit Košljun, the national parks Paklenica, Kornati and the Plitvice Lakes...
