About Kršan
Kršan is a small village of about 230 people, built on a rocky karst hill around a castle first recorded in 1274. Its four-sided tower still stands, along with a town gate and a 17th-century parish church of St Anthony. The village heads a municipality of 23 settlements, and the homes are in and around it rather than on the coast. North-east of the village lies Čepić field, the farmland left when Lake Čepić was drained in 1930, with the slopes of Učka beyond. It is farming country rather than a resort, so plan on cooking at the house or driving out for restaurants.
