About Prvić (Krk)#

Prvić (Krk) is a small island off the coast of the island of Krk in the northern Adriatic Sea, within Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.

The island is characterised by rocky shoreline and Mediterranean vegetation and has limited development compared with the larger neighbouring islands. It is one of several small islets in the Kvarner Gulf that are visited for short excursions and coastal sightseeing.

Historically the islet has had local maritime and fishing uses in common with nearby islands; there are no widely known major historic events associated with it. Local ownership and use patterns have changed over time with tourism in the region.

The islet lies in the northern Adriatic near the shores of the island of Krk, within easy reach by small boat from coastal settlements on Krk.

How to Get to Prvić (Krk)#

Access is by private boat or local water taxis from Krk and nearby coastal towns. Check seasonal ferry and water-taxi timetables from towns like Baška or Krk town; journeys are short but schedules can be sparse outside summer.
