About Mošćenička Draga
Mošćenička Draga grew as the fishing port of the hilltop town of Mošćenice and was first mentioned in 1436. It is now a small resort, with a few hundred people in the village itself, two beaches, a small marina and walking paths. It lies south-west of Opatija, below Učka, whose highest peak, Vojak, reaches 1,396 metres. Our homes are spread over several kilometres, so check each address. They are mostly mid-sized, a minority have a private pool, few have a garden, and nearly all have air conditioning. Expect quiet evenings rather than organised entertainment.
