Opatija's parks contain about three hundred species of trees and plants that a legally protected as horticultural monuments. Among them, Japanese Camelia (Camelia japonica) became the symbol of Opatija.
This is giant American agava which can be seen on the the main promenade, right next to the Slatina beach.

It is the most famous sight in Opatija (1956). When you see the picture of Opatija, you will see this girl. Of course there is a story.
Formerly there was a statue of Madonna del mare standing at the same place, and than one night after the storm it just disappeared. So, the story was that the statue felt in to the sea. But, I don't understand because the statue is in front of St. Jacob church. hmmm .....

Sv. James park near the Villa Angiollina with 3.64 ha of area. You can see really great examples of plant life from around the world.
It is especially nice to take a walk during the spring when everything smell heavenly. Essence of each and every plant, flower, tree, grass and mediterian herbs is mixed with the smell of the sea. Oh what a royal treat form my soul. I just didn't stop to sniff :)

You should take walk 12 km long, from the Ičići to Lovran. It is a famous promenade. It is created to take a long walk; to enjoy the sight and breath the air from the sea.
Maybe you think know this is a boring thing, but if you are searching something to relax you and regenerate from the stress of the work and living in the city, take a walk ...

No, really, I'm not egsaturating or have subjective comments, Opatija is so beautiful, wherever you look you want make mistake. This city is something else ...
I have on purpose written bathing spot and not beach because, it i not a ordinary beach like the one you can see at the coast. This bathing spot has kept the old look. You know, the coast in northern part of Jadran is different from the south of the coast where there are long sandy beaches.
This paved Bath is in the centre of the city with nicely arranged entrance to the sea, and it perfectly fits to the secession buildings that surrounds here.

There's a look of cleanliness and preservation in all the town, that invites you to compare the architectural influences of its most beautiful buildings. There's no sign of war, there's no sign of difficulties, it seems that locals love their town.
Yes, I know, we didn't leave the centre! But that was the dominant feeling we could have!

Like (almost) everywhere else in Croatia there's no sand, so the swimming has been made easy by some artificial pools in the sea.
The surroundings are lively and beautiful, but the rainy weather and late arrival didn't invite us to the water.

The riva is the place all come to walk some of the 12 kilometers that they can take along the water edge. Near the center is a playground for kids, and a carnival type rides. We came down to the riva on a Sunday-and hundreds of people come out in the morning to walk and look

Juraj Matija Sporer got this place named after him because in 1859 he suggested that Opatija should become a health resort and sea environment for relaxing. Inside are art gallery pieces for exhibition and for sale

Madonna statue figure was first located on a rock where the Girl and the Sea Gull now are found. Madonna statue got destroyed either by a storm or Communists-conflict of what/which one. That monument was to watch over Count Kesselstatt and Countess Fries, who died in a storm near here. A safer place near St. Jacob church now protects the icon.
