Novi Vinodolski
In the hinterland of the Riviera, from Bakarac to New Vinodolski, there is a fertile valley Vinodol (Vallis vinearia), which is in the rocky and karst area, used to be the only source of basic needs to the majority of the population. Today, Novi Vinodolski is a developed tourist resort and a recognized tourist destination. Off-season tourism is also developed because this area has a mild Mediterranean climate with up to 2400-2500 hours of sunshine annually.
