Holiday in Icici
Icici is a picturesque seaside village located on the Adriatic coast in the Kvarner Bay, nestled between the famous resort town of Opatija and the city of Lovran. It's part of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in western Croatia.
History:
Originally a small fishing village, Icici grew during the 19th and early 20th centuries with the development of tourism in nearby Opatija.
The Austro-Hungarian elite helped shape the Riviera’s development, and Icici became known for its peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty.
Over time, it evolved into a quiet, upscale residential and tourist area, ideal for those seeking relaxation by the sea.
Description and Vibe
Icici is known for its clean beaches, beautiful marina (ACI Marina Icici), and lush green surroundings.
It's much quieter than Opatija, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway.
The town is also part of the famous Lungomare, a 12 km seaside promenade that connects several coastal towns.
