Discover OPATIJA, Croatia - Beaches & Things To Do

[@cmhaml]

Thank you so much for this video! I am going to Opatija in October 2024 (because the show Hotel Portofino was filmed there, so it inspired me). Your video has made me so excited to go! 🤗

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. Nice to hear that. I wish you a great trip 🤗

We were visiting Opatija two or three years back to back when i was a little child (some 36 years ago). We were living with / at a host family for two or three weeks. I can't remember everything but i remember how nice, kind and generous they were. I remember the harbour. The sea. The view from our host familiy's house. I've always wondered what has become of them.

Thanks for sharing your memories 🤗

@@rokgoesaround Thank you for uploading your amazing and interesting videos. I really enjoy these

Опатия поражает своей аристократической красотой и великолепием. Прекрасная, изысканная архитектура, эстетическое оформление города, восхитительные цветочные клумбы и скверы. А главное - это, конечно же, море! Вода в нём хрустальной чистоты, видны камешки на дне с морской фауной. Она такая солёная, что тебя выталкивает на поверхность. Солнечный, морской, лазурный простор. Незабываемые впечатления. Спасибо тебе, благословенный край!

[@rokgoesaround]

You have excuse to come back 🤗 Thanks.

[@JimmyGlo630]

Thank you for the video and thank you for promoting Croatia 🍷

[@rokgoesaround]

Beautiful country, amazing people and picture perfect Adriatic coast.

[@yasminedrexler8951]

Fabulous video, thank you. I'm going on a sailing trip in August that ends in Opatija. Wow I'm really excited about it now.

[@rokgoesaround]

Wonderful!

Opatija, Italian Abbazia, resort town, one of the best-known coastal resorts in Istria, western Croatia. It is situated at the head of the Kvarner, a gulf of the Adriatic Sea along the eastern side of the Istrian peninsula. Opatija, Croatia.

[@wolfriderpack]

Thanks for doing these GREAT and informative videos! We want to move to Slovenia from the United States and we look forward to seeing all these places.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thank you for kind words & support. Wow, it sounds you guys have a serious travel plan. Slovenia has the best location for exploring the region and is not expensive. I am sure you will love it.

[@wolfriderpack]

@@rokgoesaround, yes, we would move now if we could. We will visit first next June and hopefully move out there the year after or so. My husband is even learning Slovene! We've seen SO many videos, that we know we would love it. 💙

[@rokgoesaround]

Wow, that is awesome. Your husband is really serious about it as Slovenian language is very difficult to learn. I wish him all the best with Slovene and hopefully he will soon be able to order you both a nice diner in Slovenian restaurant ;)

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

[@krism4467]

Opatija, my fav place back home (born in Rijeka).

[@rokgoesaround]

Wonderful

[@JustaGirl5946]

Thank you for yet another great video. We only have 1 more month until we travel to Croatia. Your videos have inspired us and we’ve added some of your towns to our itinerary. Especially that restaurant in Hvar in the olive orchard. It looks incredible. We will tell them you sent us, 🤣.I’ve looked but I can’t seem to find any videos on wineries and orchards. Do you have any? Thanks again.

[@JustaGirl5946]

And of course I meant vineyards…haha

[@rokgoesaround]

Thank you so much for your support. You are so lucky to go to Hvar, just don't forget to book ahead Lambik restaurant. And you are right I don't have videos about wineries and vineyards, but you just gave me an idea for my future videos. Thanks :)

[@JustaGirl5946]

We visited Opatija today on our way from Zagreb to Rovinj. It was beautiful. From Rovinj we will visit Pula, Motovun, Porec and a couple of other towns before heading to Split.

[@ajitdhavale4183]

Awesome videos especially on Hvar and other information...you have inspired me to add a few more places on my upcoming trip to croatia...

[@rokgoesaround]

Nice to hear that. Thank you

[@ajitdhavale4183]

Hi can you also mention which is the best time of the year to travel to croatia ..I mean the shoulder season whe n crowds are less and prices low

[@danielj5266]

Ty brother, beautiful ❤

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗

[@Breyzipp]

Great video! I’m in Opatija now for the annual summer sensual days (SSD) festival (which also continues in Rovinj). My main goal here is dancing workshops and parties but on Monday I’ll go visit that mermaid statue and walk the promenade a bit before heading to Rovinj.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. Wow nice experience you have there. Thanks for sharing and have a great time.

[@motoTomy]

Well, i must say this is awsome video, ty :)

[@rokgoesaround]

You'll be a great tour guide !!

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗

[@lanoos1]

That is great video. Can you tell me what month did you go? I need to know what is the beach water like?

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. I believe it was in June. Proper beach time is from mid June to the end of September.

[@margaritagabrielyan4906]

Really good video!

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗

[@brizzle3903]

Do you think this would be worth attempting a day trip to from Trieste Italy? What a beautiful place if it’s feasible I have to add it to my list

[@rokgoesaround]

I would rather add Piran as a day trip from Trieste. It is much closer and is also amazing.

[@ausiedeli]

Absolutely yes. Opatija is just over an hour's drive from Trieste

[@adelaidegurwell1807]

Very informative

[@rokgoesaround]

Glad you liked it

[@mizanurrahman6517]

Nice leak and environment

[@florebulckaen7508]

What is the name of the beach/resort at minute 8:37?

[@rokgoesaround]

That is Angiolina bar, right next to famous Hotel Kvarner.

[@tomglinka2500]

I think I would like to visit Croatia. Are you still leading motorcycle rides?

[@rokgoesaround]

Sounds like a great idea! Yes I am. You will love the ride on amazing Adriatic Road.

[@MS-uj5yo]

Rok, have you tried going to Opatija with train?

[@rokgoesaround]

No I haven't. Any experience?

[@laveeg1]

I love your videos it's very informative! I have been in opatija 4 Years ago just for one night. I hope to be again there when the COVID 19 will getting down 👇 Thank again for your great videos from Israel 🇮🇱

[@rokgoesaround]

Molto bello ma non si chiama op@ti😩 Il suo nome è Abbazia, fu fondata dal mio antenato Iginio Scarpa acquisendo le terre intorno l'abbazia dei Benedettini. Non si storpiano i nomi ....New york non è Nuova York!!!

Nel 1844 fu edificata da Iginio Scarpa Villa Angiolina la prima villa di Abbazia in onore di Angiola Sartorio di Trieste sua moglie scomparsa prematuramente. Solo nel 1991 nasce la crozia dalla dissoluzione della jugoslavia, a parte gli infissi in alluminio dorato sulle ville biedermaier e liberty e la sistematica cancellazione della storia il contributo dei nuovi arrivati (sul cacaduro degli altri )è inesistente...c'è qualcosa che non torna..! 1844 villa Angiolina...1991 crozia ...un po troppo tempo intercorso per prendersi gli onori ..no?
