KVARNER - a region that has always
been visited for health purposes
We might like sports or enjoy food to greater or lesser
degrees, but we all take our health seriously. Science, folk
wisdom and our own experience tell us that a man with
poor health suffers creatively, socially and in all other
respects, and that health is our best ally in life’s difficulties.
Following the idea of the playwright Euripides that
“the sea washes away all the ills of man”, ancient Greek
and Roman physicians believed in the healing powers
of bathing in the sea and the beneficial effects of the
sea air and sun on human health. The golden age of
health tourism in Kvarner was in the late 19th century,
when the Austro-Hungarian government proclaimed
climatic health resorts, and built public baths, hotels,
and transport and other infrastructure, which made this
region a desirable destination for those in search of health
and relaxation.
The long tradition of caring for, improving and protecting
health in Kvarner, combined with its natural and cultural
features, provides you with the perfect reason to visit
the area and surrender to its benefits. Spend a week
or two each year on your health and change your daily
environment for a while to enjoy the diversity of services
that we offer.We are confident that
you will find something for yourself in
our wide range of health-promoting
and preventive treatments, including
pleasant walks along fragrant forest
paths, bathing in the sea, and modern
wellness services. And when your
holiday comes to an end, you can
rest assured that you will feel new
energy and enthusiasm to cope
with the challenges of everyday life.
From that moment on, Kvarner will
travel everywhere with you, enticing
you secretly yet insistently to visit
the region as a source of health and
wellbeing over and over again.
In the booklet that you are holding in
your hands, you will find a selection
of health centres that you can choose
from depending on your needs.
We also invite you to discover the other
advantages of the Kvarner tourist
region, a destination distinguished by
its unique combination of coastline,
islands and highlands.
