Today these villas have been transformed into top quality hotels situated along the coastal Lungo mare promenade, some 12 kilometres in length. In contrast to the blue sea and the mountains is the greenness of the parks, the old buildings and numerous choices on offer making Opatija a favourite destination on the Adriatic throughout the year. Its very mild Mediterranean climate (in winter 7.0°C and in summer 21.9°C) with warm seas and ample vegetation make this part of Kvarner a kind of green oasis.
