Car Rental in Opatija, Croatia

Opatija is a town located in western Croatia just southwest of Rijeka along the Adriatic coast. Its name means “abbey” in Croatian, derived from a 14th century Benedictine abbey, Opatija Sv. Jakova, (Abbey of Saint James). It sits in a sheltered position at the foot of the Ucka Mountain in the Gulf of Kvarner. It is a popular resort destination for both summer and winter travelers, because of its cool summers and mild winters.
