Malinska

Malinska, a place on the north side of the island, along with 19 smaller settlements forms Dubašnica area located in the western part of the island. This is the tamest part of the island that is completely protected from wind. Beacause of the tameness of the landscape and numerous smaller settlements we can talk about Riviera of Malinska. Rich with greenery, bays, beautiful beaches and clear sea.

Malinska is named after the construction of the mill (melin, malin) in the 15th century, and since that time, at the instigation of the Krk Duke Frankopan, people started to settle in that area. In the beginning it was a little village in the Dubašnica region which thrived as a port, while today it is a known tourist destination.

Malinska is adorned with an ideal location on the northwest coast oft he island, in a wide bay. It is located near the town of Krk(12 km), the bridge (15 km) and Rijeka airport(12 km). The reason why Krk is a very pleasant place during winter and summer is its mild climate. Sub-Mediterranean climate with warm and sunny summers and mild and rainy winters, which makes it an ideal place for holidays throughout the year.

Malinska itself is a fairly new settlement so there are no valuable historical monuments, but in the immediate vicinity oft he town there is a church of St. Mary Magdalene in Porto and the parish church of St. Apollinarius in Bogovići, built in the 19th century. Listed church of St. Mary Magdalene was gifted to the Glagolitic in the 15th century by the Frankopan family. Glagolitic later built a monastery next to the church. The monastery now houses a small museum decorated with religious facilities and valuable ethnographic collection.
Municipality day and the feast of St. Apollinarius, patron of the parish and the town, celebrated on 20th July, and the last Friday and Saturday in July every year the traditional „Malinska nights“ are being held which is certainly worth experiencing.
In swimming, you can enjoy in one of three swimming areas or on one oft he nearby sandy and pebble beaches and secluded coves for those who like to relax in privacy.

Along the Malinska riviera try out a variety of amenities for a good time at sea, but also relax int he many bars and restaurants. Lovers of good food here will find everything classic Mediterranean cuisine has to offer- excellent homemade pasta and unsurpassed seafood.
