Franciscan Monastery Košljun
Franciscan Monastery Košljun
Only 750 meters from Punat lies the islet of Košljun. It is known for the Franciscan monastery where the monks have collected and preserved numerous valuable items for centuries. The islet has a museum with an ethnographic collection containing numerous items produced by Krk fishermen and farmers, as well as folk costumes from across the Island of Krk.
The monastery also owns a rich zoological collection consisting of a large seashell collection and unique animal specimens, such as the one-eyed lamb. The monastery also has a rich library with around 30,000 titles. It includes the Ptolemy’s atlas printed in Venice in 1511 (one of the three preserved copies). The monastery is a zero category monument. There are two churches on the islet – the Church of Blessed Virgin Mary’s Annunciation and the Church of St. Bernard.
It takes around two hours to see the whole islet, but there are no catering facilities there.

Great location, close to the marina, town center, restaurants. Very friendly and helpful host - she even delayed a private appointment to wait for us, as we were late vs. the announced time of arrival!
The beach in Punat is weird, as in the marina takes up a lot of the waterfront, and there is a large portion of concrete "beach", which we didn't like. But the nice, 15-minute walk is worth it as you get to proper, pebble beaches with clear and pleasant water.

Schönes Zimmer in super Lage mit kostenfreiem Parkplatz und netter Vermieterin
Die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich und bietet gerne ihre Hilfe an. Wir wurden direkt eingeladen mit ihnen im Garten etwas zu Trinken. Die Lage zum Hafen ist super (3 min Laufen). Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank im Zimmer funktionieren tadellos. Parkplätze sind kostenfrei und direkt vor der Unterkunft.

Odlični domaćini sa odličnim prijedlozima i savjetima, krasan objekt. Čisto i uredno. Centar gradića, super pozicija. Piva je bila taman, a utakmica odlična iako smo izgubili. Hrvatska je druga na svijetu!!!!
