The small island of Košljun, located in Punat bay and reachable only by boat, is becoming increasingly popular among tourists and it’s another great Instagram spot. The rich cultural heritage, the unique atmosphere, and the striking synergy of man and nature are just some of the reasons for its popularity. The whole island resembles a museum, and all the earnings from ticket sales go to the monks who reside on Košljun.

Aside from the magnificent 15th-century Franciscan monastery, the rest of the island is covered with rich forest, a perfect place for a peaceful walk, meditation, and exploration. On Košljun, you will find 485 different plant species and 150 species of mushrooms. Enjoy the amazing scents of aromatic plants and the sound of birds chirping. We advise that you charge your battery, empty the memory card and start photographing. At first, the synergy between man and nature might not be visible to some. Still, you will definitely feel and experience it.

Mirine – Fulfinum

Are you a history fan and often dedicate your social media feeds to researching and learning about history? Then you should expand your photography collection with scenes of a 5th-century early Christian basilica. Right by the sea in Sepen Bay near Omišalj still, stand the remains of the ancient Roman city Fulfinum Mirine with a longitudinal basilica in the shape of a Latin cross. This basilica is a great Instagram location and interestingly, it’s the only sacral building of this kind on the island of Krk and the largest in the Mediterranean. The ancient Roman town of Fulfinum is still largely unexplored and unexcavated. Maybe you are the one who will discover something new and photograph the evidence!?

The historic city centers of Krk, Vrbnik, Omišalj, Baška, and Dobrinj…offer countless Instagram locations perfect for photographing. Their narrow cobbled streets are full of history and sights dating back to olden times or somewhat more modern history.
 Clustered stone houses typical for Mediterranean architecture, small museums, galleries, souvenir shops - everything looks like you are in a picture book.
