Baška suits beach holidays on Krk, centred on its pebble beach, about 1,800 metres long. It sits at the far end of the island, around 45 km by road from the Krk Bridge. The trade-off is the last stretch, a narrow road with sharp bends past Obzova, and an airport that is not on your doorstep.
Baška is a village of 899 people within a municipality of 1,656, on the southeast of the island of Krk. Tourism has been its trade since the 19th century. The beach is the draw: a pebble strand about 1,800 metres long, described as the longest on this part of the Adriatic. The Baška tablet, which dates from 1100, was found in the Church of St Lucy at nearby Jurandvor. The surrounding area has 16 hiking trails, over 80 km in all, and the Drops art installation stands on the hill above town. Our homes sit in a tight cluster, mostly one-bedroom places for about four, almost all air-conditioned, with few gardens and about a fifth having a pool.
