Malinska

MALINSKA, a town, port and tourist centre in the north-western part of the island of Krk. Chief occupations are farming, fishing and tourism. Originally a small village in the region of Dubasnica, Malinska developed as a port at the beginning of the 19th century, when the export of wood was transferred from Porto to the cove of Malinska because of a better road connection for transportation of wood from the island's interior. In the first half of the 19th century the port accommodated steam ships of the Lloyd from Trieste on their way to Dalmatia. Due to very good connections with the mainland and mild climate, tourism started to develop at the beginning of the 20th century, which spread between the two world wars, particularly after the Second World War. The company Brodokomerc built in 1969 a high-category hotel in the cove of Haludovo. The port lies on the eastern coast of the anchorage ground of Malinska. The town has road connections with all towns and villages on the island.
