Spring on wheels in Krk
Thu, Apr 19, 2012
From 18 to 20 March, The Valamar Koralj hotel is organising biking days in cooperation with the City of Krk Tourist Board! Enjoy some recreational activities with three organised guided tours intended for amateur as well as professional bikers. Aside from exercising, you will also enjoy exploring the island of Krk, with its beautiful greenery, olive groves, scents of the Mediterranean vegetation and view of the crystal-blue sea. But that is not all! We have also prepared an interesting accompanying programme exclusively for our biking lovers, ranging from pleasant refreshment during tours and a visit to an ethnographic museum to bike parties in the tavern of the Valamar Koralj hotel and on the beautiful waterfront of the old town of Krk. All participants of the “Spring on Wheels” programme will have free access to the wellness facility of the Valamar Koralj hotel.
