Rabac, Croatia
It is one of the most popular places in Istria. The biggest attraction
of this place is beyond doubt the fact that at the top of a hill above
Rabac, three kilometres from the sea there is an old town Labin. First
colonies here were established about 4000 years ago. Rabac was a small
fishermen village to the middle of the last century. In 1876 an
English writer and traveller Richard Francis Burton made Rabac famous
with his book „The Seaboard of Istria". The first hotel Quarnaro was
built here in 1889. After some time Rabac was called “The Pearl of the
Kvarner Bay”.
