Before Opatija became a holiday resort, Volosko was the seat of the district, an important trade port and the area's administrative centre. Today Volosko has lost that importance, but not its magical appeal as a picturesque fishing village, an inexhaustible source of inspiration to artists, a haven to those searching for peace in the narrow lanes of the old town, or for a cup of coffee on the waterfront, in the unique atmosphere of the harbour. There is something very special about the view of the sea from Volosko's waterfront: the whole Adriatic seems to open up towards the south from here… When walking through the lanes in the historic part of the town, you will come across the monument commemorating Volosko as the birthplace of Andrija Mohorovičić, the world-famous scientist who first identified the discontinuity that separates the Earth's crust from the mantle. This layer is called the Mohorovičić Discontinuity, or Moho for short. He was born in the house at the very beginning of the Lungomare coastal promenade. Today Volosko is also synonymous with fine gastronomy – from typical taverns offering fish and other traditional dishes of the local area, to superb gourmet restaurants that are listed in the most prestigious international restaurant guides – Volosko offers all of that, and much more. It is only a pleasant three-kilometre stroll along the coastal promenade from where you are now standing. Do not miss the chance to pay this enchanting place a visit!

This floating market is truly an impressive sight as vendors on long-tail boats brimming with fresh fruits, food, and drinks navigate the 'klong' (canal) to sell their produce to the tourists and locals standing along the canal's edge or gliding down the narrow and crowded canals. Besides food and drinks, you'll also find an assortment of brightly coloured trinkets in the small wooden houses on stilts that fringe the banks. This world-famous market, from a James Bond movie, is located 80 kilometres outside Bangkok, but it is, certainly, worth the journey. Take an organised tour, or a regular bus from the Southern Bus Terminal and see what the hype is all about.
