Punat

Among the towns of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Punat stands out for its position on the sheltered Puntarska Draga bay on Krk Island. The narrow entrance to the bay encloses Košljun, a small wooded islet long associated with a Franciscan monastery; its church and monastic collections are defining cultural sites in this part of the island. Punat faces the Adriatic while remaining closely tied to Krk’s olive-growing, dry-stone walls and maritime traditions. Near the shore stands the early medieval Church of St Dunat, a rare pre-Romanesque monument on Krk. See how Punat fits into the wider Krk Island and Kvarner area by browsing webcams nearby.
