Mošćenička Draga

Mošćenička Draga, Opatija Riviera

Where the green slopes of the Učka mountain merge with the blue sea lies the municipality of Mošćenička Draga. A brook, whose spring is under the Učka mountain, brought sand and pebbles down to the sea and formed one of the most beautiful beaches in the Adriatic Sea called Sipar. It is several hundred meters long and stretches south up to the beach Sv. Ivan (St. John). The promenade that runs above the beach of Sv. Ivan is adorned with splendid aristocratic villas, while the old town is a typical fishing village with narrow streets and stone houses tightly nestled together. The small port of Mošćenička Draga is dotted with fishing boats and barques and serves as a small marina in the summer. Mošćenička Draga owes its unique charm to the proximity of the Učka mountain. Numerous mountain trails and paths lead through lush greenery to beautiful viewpoints and old villages. Follow the small road from Mošćenička Draga through the settlement Sv. Petra to the picturesque village of Potoki or walk along the Trebišće-Perun educational trail, where you will get to know the mythology of the Slavs, but also enjoy the scents of the forest, its pleasant shade and the murmur of streams. In addition to the nearby Učka Nature Park, you can easily visit the national parks Risnjak, Brijuni and Plitvice Lakes, as well as the major tourist centres Opatija and Rijeka from here. During the summer, traditional fishermen nights are held in Mošćenička Draga, during which you can enjoy a unique competition of sailing and rowing boats and taste the famous shrimp from the Kvarner Bay.
Mošćenička Draga is a real gem in a fairy-tale natural environment and a perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday. Enjoy your stay in Mošćenička Draga in one of the many comfortable apartments, villas or holiday homes and immerse into the magical nature by the crystal clear sea.
