Rab

Owing to the exceptionally mild and pleasant climate, Rab has many forests and as many as three hundred sources of fresh water! 
Rab’s climate owes its mildness to Mt. Kamenjak located on the eastern part of the island, since it protects Rab from the cold north-east wind (Bora) blowing from the mainland of Croatia, allowing its green oasis to thrive.
