Learn more Rab is rich in cultural-historical monuments, making it a popular holiday destination (Image: Getty) This 14-mile-long, 36-square-mile island off the northern coast of Croatia in the Adriatic is one of the Mediterranean’s best kept secrets, with show stopping beaches with golden sand and emerald-coloured waters. The island of Rab is home to some of the most diverse landscapes in the Kvarner region, with the northeastern side of the island mostly barren, while the southwestern side is covered by one of the last oak forests of the Mediterranean.

In fact, it was declared a geopark in 2008. The main settlement on the island is the eponymous town of Rab, but the neighbouring Palit actually has the biggest population. The terracotta roofs of its settlements beautifully contrast the sea-green Adriatic , making a feast for the eyes.
