Selce

Surrounded by the neighboring towns of Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski, the tranquil coastal village of Selce is located on the east coast of the Kvarner Bay- directly opposite the island of Krk. The location not only serves as a springboard for trips to beautiful destinations, such as Rijeka, Crikvenica or Krk, but also has a wonderful panoramic and calm sea. Selce is ideal for a family holiday, and can even turn into an active holiday: such as through cycling, hiking, water skiing or scuba diving.

Among the most beautiful sights of Selce include the mainly religious buildings such as the parish church of St. Catherine built in 1888. Here you can see how famous artists and sculptors have become "immortalized" in the church. Pietro Rizzi designed the marble, elevated altar and Giovanni Fumi painted the portrait of St. Catherine. With its late-historic features, the church is well worth a visit. The Church of Saint George and the castle, which was built on a medieval fortress, are worth seeing. From the castle, you can additionally get a fabulous vantage point of  the Vinodol valley, and wonderful views of its surroundings. Those who want to spend a relaxing evening on a terrace in the cozy harbor should not miss the versatile gastronomic offers to be found in Selce. In the restaurants and taverns you should taste the fish on all accounts: dishes which are typical for Croatian coastal towns.
