In the island of Krk, Croatian island in the northern Adriatic Sea

 "When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty." -- John Muir

======================
(in the northern Adriatic Sea, in Croatia) The largest of Croatia’s 1,200 islands seems to have everything to offer visitors, from stunning scenery, fascinating history, to great food and busy bars. Archaeological findings suggest that Krk Island has been continuously inhabited since the Neolithic Period. Roman influence, beginning in the 1st century BCE, was followed by the arrival of the Slavs in the 7th century. A Greco-Roman dialect survived locally until the 19th century. From the year 1000, Venice competed for the island against the kingdom of Croatia, which won it in 1059. From 1133 to 1480, Krk was ruled by the counts of the Frankopan family, who recognized the sovereignty of the crown of Hungary and, at the same time, held a seat in the Great Council of Venice. Ruled by Venice until 1797, Krk then passed to Austria, which held it until 1918. Krk Island is connected to the mainland by a toll bridge. In summer, hundreds of thousands of tourists stream to its holiday houses, campsites and hotels.
