Vrbnik

Tucked along Krk Island’s eastern Adriatic coast, Vrbnik is a place whose character is shaped by a limestone promontory above the sea. Its compact old centre climbs the rock through a web of stone lanes, while the parish church and bell tower mark the settlement’s skyline. Vrbnik has long been associated with Glagolitic literacy: it was one of the nine communities represented in the Vinodol Code of 1288, an important medieval legal text. Inland, the Vrbnik field is known for Žlahtina, a local white grape variety grown on Krk. The meeting of elevated streets, vineyards and Adriatic waters gives this part of the island a distinct identity.
