Lopar is situated on the island of rab, which is a part of kvarner archipelago.
It is 110 kilometers far from administrative centre rijeka, 190kilometers from
zagreb and close to large european cities such as ljubljana ( 230kilometers ),
vienna (550kilometers ), munich (630kilometers ) and milan (580 kilometers ).
It takes ten minutes to get to lopar by ferry-line jablanac - mišnjak. You
can also use ferry line baska ( on the island of krk ) -lopar, which has
recently become more interesting to many guests because of nearness to rijeka
and its airport.
Lopar is abundant in beautiful sandy beaches. There are 22 of them, with 3 being
-nudist beaches ( ciganka, sahara and stolac ). The largest and the most famous
is "rajska plaža-paradise beach" which is 1,5 kilometers long and along which
there arethe most important tourist facilities. In 2003 it was decorated with
"the blue flag", international symbol of quality and preservation of environment
, as well as safety of bathers.
This especially attractive drive lasts approximately 50 minutes. Coming by
car from direction of rab first thing we see is a sign which reminds us of
st.marin, stone-cutter and founder of republic of san marino, who was born in
lopar in the 4th century. In his honor, hotel settlement and motor camp bear
name "san marino".
