Krk is promoted as a paradise for cyclists, but islanders increasingly see them as a traffic problem
The island of Krk is increasingly being presented as a destination for cyclists, but the reality on the ground is much harsher. There are far too few proper cycling paths, traffic is already overloaded, and cyclists, especially groups of recreational riders and the growing number of e-bike users, end up on the same narrow roads that islanders use every day to get to work, the shop, the ferry, school, the clinic or their apartments.
Are prices on Krk too high, or are guests no longer willing to pay for average as if it were luxury?
Prices for accommodation, restaurants and shops on Krk are increasingly provoking comments from guests. The problem is not only that Krk has become more expensive, but that guests’ old habits are colliding with new European prices and much higher expectations.
Expensive flights could push Krk forward. Will its own traffic jams pull it back?
War, more expensive aviation fuel and flight cancellations are pushing some European guests towards closer destinations accessible by car. Krk has a great opportunity here, but also a major traffic problem that could cancel it out.
Kvarner is the European Region of Gastronomy 2026, will Krk really know how to make the most of it?
Kvarner has received the title of European Region of Gastronomy for 2026, but for Krk the real question is not how good that sounds in promotional texts, but whether the island can gain real benefits from it, a stronger pre season and post season, higher local spending and a more serious gastronomic identity that will not end up being only PR.
We had the finished copy of the book "Beauties of Island Krk 2" in our hands
We had a rare and wonderful opportunity to leaf through a finished, freshly printed copy of the new photo monograph Beauties of Island Krk 2 by Srđan Hulak, and after just a few pages it was already clear that this is a publication that goes beyond a classic photography book.
KRKdanas - a place where hosts get clear and practical information
Renting accommodation today is no longer as simple as it used to be. Regulations are changing, platforms are introducing new rules, guests have increasingly higher expectations, and information is often scattered, unclear or contradictory.
