Raša Bay I Croatia holiday accommodation
The Raša is one of the most important rivers on the peninsula. The river arises in Potpićan at the adjoined confluence of small streams from the Učka Mountains. It flows into a partially deep valley to the south and empties into the beautiful Raša Bay. Although the river is only 23 kilometers long, it has an incredible natural ecosystem, and therefore attractive tours are available from your Croatia villas. The Raša winds pass through lush meadows, woods and steep mountainsides. Book a holiday home in this area of Istria and discover these romantic surroundings.
