The Principality of Zarijak has two stays in the area: Hanor in the Vežica neighbourhood of Rijeka, and Luvano's place on the island of Krk.
Are the Principality of Zarijak's stays open outside the summer?
Both Hanor in Rijeka and Luvano's place on Krk are closed from November through May.
You can book a stay at the Principality's territories through Airbnb, Booking.com, or by contacting the Principality directly. See the about page for how booking works.
Which Kvarner base keeps a visit simplest in the quiet months?
Hanor is in Rijeka, a city rather than a village.
Luvano's place is on the island of Krk.
Can I check what is open before I book?
Yes. You can contact the Principality before you book.
Is there a date worth planning around?
The Principality marks two holidays each year: Princess Day on 20 May and Principality Day on 25 September.
Does staying longer count for anything?
A stay can also earn citizenship of the Principality. The minimum is 3 nights at Hanor in Rijeka and 5 nights at Luvano's place on Krk. Citizenship does not change your own nationality. Croatia keeps full sovereignty over all the Principality's territories.
