M. DRAGA
Mošćenička Draga is a coastal town located on the eastern coast of Istria, at the foot of Učka Nature Park, between Opatija and Brseč. It developed around a sheltered bay that served as an important fishing and maritime centre for centuries and is now known for one of the most beautiful pebble beaches on the Kvarner coast. Above the town lies the medieval settlement of Mošćenice, situated on a hill overlooking Kvarner Bay. The combination of the coastline, dense Mediterranean vegetation and the slopes of Učka creates a diverse landscape, while local cuisine includes Kvarner specialities, fresh fish, seafood and locally produced olive oil.
Mošćenička Draga is a convenient destination for visitors looking to combine a seaside holiday with time spent in nature. Nearby destinations include Opatija, Lovran, Učka Nature Park and numerous walking trails leading to viewpoints overlooking Kvarner. Regular bus services connect Mošćenička Draga with Rijeka, Opatija, Pula, Zagreb and other Croatian cities, making bus travel a practical way to reach the town and explore the eastern coast of Istria.
