Property care in Krk
Krk is the largest Croatian island and, thanks to the bridge, one of the easiest to reach, you can drive straight to the house without waiting for a ferry. Malinska, Njivice, Baška and Vrbnik each have their own character, and the island has one of the oldest and largest German and Austrian second home communities in the country. The season is long here because of the good road connection and the nearby airport.
In season
The bridge takes the ferry out of the planning, but the island is large: three quarters of an hour separates the northern and southern tips. We group visits by section of the island so that driving time does not turn into a cost item for you. One thing worth knowing before a full house or a pool refill in August: the water supply inland, around Dobrinj in particular, drops under peak demand. We check pressure before a changeover rather than after the guests report it.
Out of season
The bridge is what makes Krk easy to reach and also its weak point: it closes to high-sided vehicles in a strong bura, so a delivery or a tradesman can be turned back on the day it is needed. Away from the sheltered south-east around Baška, the island is open karst and takes wind from every side. The bridge pays for itself the rest of the year. Trades and materials cost less here than on any ferry island, which is why we put the larger work into the winter months.

Worth knowing if you own in Krk
What a standard Croatian household policy leaves out
Earthquake is often not included. Unoccupied property carries conditions most owners never read. The exclusions matter more than the sum insured.

Most claims that go badly on this coast do not fail on cover. They fail on evidence, and the evidence is destroyed in the first twenty minutes of tidying up.

The bura is dry, sudden and violent, and it does not damage houses at random. It finds the four or five things that were already slightly loose.
