| The port of Rab is located on the west coast of the island of the same name in the northern
Adriatic Sea, between Krk Island
and Pag Island. Rab has mild winters and hot summers and is considered to be one of the sunniest towns in Europe. Summer
visitors enjoy a special atmosphere as the town centre is transformed into one enormous art gallery full of street painters
as well as other cultural events in the "Knezev dvor" Gallery. Rab musical evenings from June to August offer concerts by
Croatian and international musicians. Another colourful summer event is the Rab Tournament which first took place as early as
1364 and was revived in 1995. It commemorates the defence of Rab by medieval knights. Rab’s recorded history dates back as
far as 360 BC. Tourism has long replaced fishing, once the economic mainstay. The island is also credited with pioneering
nudism. |
