Last week, we had a nice afternoon visit to the small town of Volosko. It’s nestled at the top of the Adriatic Sea, between Rijeka and Opatija. (It’s technically considered part of greater Opatija.)
I’ll be honest, our day trip was due to needing a windshield replacement at an auto shop located a 15-minute walk from Volosko. We dropped the car off a little before 12:00noon and headed towards town. It was a cloudy day, but the walk was picturesque and peaceful.
Being that it was still the off-season (end of March), the town was quiet and calm. There looked to be some people making repairs and prepping for the arrival of the tourist season, but otherwise not much was going on. We had about four hours to kill, so we started exploring right away.
There’s a lovely little marina in the center.
From the marina, you could look far across the water over to the city of Rijeka. Rijeka is the major port town at the top of the Adriatic Sea.
One of the nicest discoveries in Volosko was the Lungo Mare: a long walkway that stretched down the coastline – all the way through town and into Opatija proper. It allowed for amazing views and quaint stoney tableaus.
I think it’s better if I just show you with photos!
