Stara Baška is a coastal settlement on the southern part of Krk Island with two kilometers of shoreline featuring pebbly beaches and clear seawater.The area sits among forested hills with scattered homes and traditional stone buildings.
The settlement began in the 14th century when shepherds moved to this rocky coastal area and started herding sheep.Its original names Kraj or Podkraj referred to its position at the edge of the island landscape.
Local farmers keep sheep herds and make traditional products like cheese, figs, and sage honey sold in small shops nearby.These activities shape how the settlement looks and feels.
Visitors can reach small beaches using marked walking paths from the main road or arrange boat trips from nearby ports.It helps to wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven ground and bring water and sun protection for the day.
Old dry stone walls separate sheep pastures across the surrounding hills, forming geometric patterns in the landscape.These structures date from the settlement's early days and show how people shaped the land for farming.
