Bakar

Tucked along the sheltered waters of Bakar Bay on the Kvarner coast, Bakar is a town whose character is shaped by steep limestone slopes and its deep natural harbour. Its compact historic core follows the narrow bay, while the port has long connected the settlement with the Adriatic’s trading routes. Above the town, the dry-stone terraces known as Bakarski prezidi recall a local wine-growing tradition; they are associated with Bakarska vodica, a traditional sparkling wine. Bakar became a free royal town in 1778 under Empress Maria Theresa, a status that reflects its former importance in the Habsburg lands.
