Krk Real Estate: Adriatic Island Apartments and Houses

Krk town has a walled old centre and a marina; Baška is known for its long pebble beach; Punat has a boating harbour; Malinska is a family resort. In our network, Vrbnik, famous for its Žlahtina white wine, and Dobrinj are on the island, as is Omišalj near the bridge and airport. Cres is a separate island reached by ferry, while Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski are on the mainland coast across the water. Summer ferries and traffic can be heavy.

Croatia adopted the euro in 2023 and is in the Schengen area. EU citizens buy on the same terms as Croatians. Citizens of other countries generally need reciprocity and ministry approval, and some buyers use a Croatian company instead, with legal advice. Real estate transfer tax is around 3% for resales and VAT of 25% applies on new builds, plus notary and land-register fees. Check that the title is clean and that the building has a use permit.
