Already in ancient times, the island of Krk was referred to as the \u201cGolden Island\u201d because of its mild Mediterranean climate, geographical position and diversity of natural and cultural beauties. For its cultural heritage, it was also dubbed the \u201cCradle of the Croatian Culture\u201d and at the beginning of the 20th\u00a0century, some even started referring to this island as the \u201cSixth Continent\u201d.<\/p>\n

Today, the island of Krk has seven major centers, the main of which is the city of Krk, former Roman municipality (municipium) and today an administrative, religious and economic center of the island as well as one of the most significant cultural and historical cradles.
\nOther important centers are Punat (nautical and olive-growing center), Ba\u0161ka (the origin of Croatian literature and culture), Krk (the origin of glagolism and spirituality), Omi\u0161alj (important Glagolitic and cultural center) and Malinska and Njivice (touristic centers of the island).<\/p>\n
