Harbour

Harbour, Rabac

 swetluska Says:  Rabac has very nice small harbour with surprisingly clear blue water and even tiny beach. It is full of boats and definitely worth some photo :) 

Mass on Sunday

Mass on Sunday, Rabac

 swetluska Says:  If you are used to go to the church on Sundays, visit small church on the main promenade. There is Mass in several languages. When its sunny it is held outside so you will see many people gathered before the church. 

Harbour Area

Many of the locals (and some tourists) like nothing better than to have an evening stroll. This is a good place just to sit and watch the world go by.There are...

Primorje: Where not to eat

Primorje: Where not to eat, Rabac

 swetluska Says:  Hmm.... however the meal was tasty, the portions were so small that I was still feeling hungry after eating my risotto. And however the staff was nice, they were too slooooooooow! I wouldn't go there for second time, definitely. 

Bella Vista: Restaurant

Bella Vista: Restaurant, Rabac

 swetluska Says:  However the restaurant presents itself with "pizza" signs, when we ordered pizzas, they haven't any. So we finally ended with spagetti :)Staff is very polite and the meal was tasty. If they had that pizza, they would get one green square more :) 

Bella Vista: Delicious Pizzas

Bella Vista: Delicious Pizzas, Rabac

 cheekymarieh Says:  The restaurant is located on the main promenade of the resort and offers sea views while you eat. There is a terrific selection of pizzas on offer at the restaurant with something to suit vegetarians as well as meat eaters. I always enjoy pizzas with chicken on them.

What to Pack  

Shoes into the water

swetluska 276 reviews

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: For sure take some shoes to the water because there are sharp stones and sea urchins. It is also handy for beaches because many people still prefer "taking" rather than "sharing" and you can find broken glass as well as cigarette ends on the beaches.
You can also buy very practical shoes on the main promenade, the price is around 50 KN.

Off The Beaten Path  

Down the Mountain

We were advised to take the bus from Rabac up to old part of Labin (note: bus runs every two hours). After having a look round the old town and having a cooling beer the way back was down a track in the mountain. The start is near the bus stop at the bottom of old Labin. It's well signed so should find it easily. The descent can be steep and tricky so is not advised for anyone who has mobility difficulties. Take water as you can get hot even though you are shaded by trees.
It takes about an hour to do the full trip but is worth it for both the exercise and the scenery. Next time I fancy doing it the other way round, climb up, have several beers and then take the bus down!

Hospitality, Rabac

 cheekymarieh Says:  The first port of call on a trip to Rabac would be to the ice cream parlour. I am afraid that if I have one great weakness it is ice cream. In Rabac I found my paradise with lots of different flavours on offer. Over the course of the hoilday I had to sample them all of...
