Risika, Coastal settlement in Vrbnik, Croatia
Located on the eastern coast of Krk Island, Risika extends along the shoreline with stone houses and modern apartments near Saint Marek Bay.
The Gradec fortress, constructed in the 12th century near Risika, served as the ancestral residence of the influential Counts of Krk, the Frankopans.
The village celebrates Jerolimja each September 30th, honoring Saint Jerome with festivities centered around the parish church in the settlement center.
Visitors can access Risika through multiple transportation options including personal vehicles, regular bus services, or flights to the nearby airport.
The settlement contains the only sandy beach on Krk Island, with archaeological evidence of Roman presence and remains of the medieval Saint Mark Church.
