Which makes a better base for exploring Kvarner, Rijeka or the island of Krk?

The Principality of Zarijak has a stay in both places: Hanor in the Vežica neighbourhood of Rijeka, and Luvano's Place on the island of Krk. Which one is the better base depends on how you travel.

What is it like to stay in Rijeka?

Hanor is the capital of the Principality, in the Vežica neighbourhood of Rijeka. Rijeka is a city rather than a village.

The minimum stay to earn Zarijak citizenship at Hanor is 3 nights.

What is it like to stay on the island of Krk?

Luvano's Place is on the island of Krk. The Zarijak home page describes its island territories as having pristine beaches.

The minimum stay to earn Zarijak citizenship at Luvano's Place is 5 nights.

How do I get around Kvarner from Rijeka?

How do I get around Kvarner from Krk?

Guests will need a car or a bike to get around the island.

Can I stay in both?

Yes. You book a stay at one or more of the Principality's territories, so you can book Hanor and Luvano's Place on the same trip. Booking is through Airbnb, Booking.com, or by contacting the Principality directly. Questions about a visit go through the contact page.

A Rijeka plus Krk trip can be booked together, with nightly prices of 200 EUR.

Is a stay a good way to see how the Principality works?

Both stays count towards citizenship. Citizenship does not change your own nationality, and Croatia keeps full sovereignty over all the Principality's territories. See the about page for details.
