Spring is a truly special time here, and Easter on the Riviera promises a perfect mix of tradition, outdoor fun, and relaxed coastal charm. Experience the Springtime Magic on the Crikvenica Riviera!
Why Visit in April & Easter Season

Easter here is an experience. Local communities in Crikvenica and Selce host traditional celebrations where the aroma of freshly baked Easter pogača (pinca) — a sweet bread symbolising life and family — fills the air.
