Petra

Situated on the classic Kvarner Bay within the Istrian peninsula of Croatia, Opatija emanates an air of regal elegance and natural beauty. Known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, this seaside resort town has been a go-to spot for European royalty and elite since the 19th century. Opatija is famous for its meticulously maintained public gardens, rich architectural heritage, including opulent villas and hotels, and the picturesque 12 km long coastal promenade, Lungomare. It’s also renowned for the Maiden with the Seagull, a famous statue and symbol of the town. Opatija's enticing blend of relaxing beaches, delectable local cuisine, featuring fresh seafood and truffles, spa services, and cultural festivals, truly cater to every discerning traveler’s taste.

Located in Southeast Europe, nestled between Bosnia & Herzegovina and Slovenia, Croatia is a beautiful coastal nation known for its stunning Adriatic Sea beaches and rich history. The country fascinates travelers with its diverse attractions, including the UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik's ancient city walls, Zagreb's bustling cafes, and Split's Roman ruins. Croatia offers a mosaic of experiences with its national parks like Plitvice Lakes and Krka that boast stunning waterfalls and wildlife. The country is also famous for its wine and olive oil production, and the mouth-watering Croatian cuisine is another factor that attracts many to this Mediterranean paradise. Certainly, it's an unmissable destination for any avid traveler.

Croatia

When travelling to Croatia, it is advised by the governments of the United States, Canada, and Australia to exercise normal safety and security precautions just like you would in your home country. Be aware of your surroundings and maintain standard levels of security.

Opatija is a small city, which is a great first time experience for someone who wants a little taste of the Croatian coast (which is the reason why we took some friends who were visiting the country). It's easy to feel safe, and it's not overly crowded. There are many beautiful places to take pictures and feel like a sea princess.
It's also a good day trip from Zagreb if you don't have a lot of time, but want to have a taste of the sea.

Mind you, though, just like most Croatian beaches, you'll find stone rather than sand - I recommend using aqua shoes or diving shoes to walk, as they make everything more comfortable.
