Barbat - island Rab

Tourist destination info Barbat - island Rab

Barbat is a small place on the island of Rab, rich with agricultural treasures such as olives and vines. This is the first place you will encounter on the island, after you have left the ferry. Barbat is recognizable by its beautiful pebble beaches, a rich fishing tradition and quality restaurants. Antiques enthusiasts are recommended to visit the St. Damjan hill, where they can see the ruins which have occupied the imagination of numerous curious researchers. It was only recently established that these ruins are the remaining parts of several early Byzantine forts from the first half of the 6th century. Those in search of active sports can enjoy volleyball, basketball, tennis, football, cycling, walking, running, fishing, diving and numerous water sports. The island of Rab is special because of its wonderful sea, fertile fields, vineyards, olive groves and natural wealth of healing plants. Like any other Dalmatian town, Rab also organizes numerous festivities during the summer months, some of which are : Rab “fjera” (summer fair based on the historical heritage), Rab archery (tournament since 1364, restarted in 1995), the Rab music nights, folklore performances, the Rab art summer  (exhibitions organized almost throughout the year) and countless other manifestations. If you would like to savor the specialties of the island of Rab, and the town of Barbat, visit the restaurants “Leut”, “Elizabeta” and “Barbat”.

      Nice place to stay, very welcoming people :)
      The beach is very close to the Apartment, van with fresh pastry, milk and fruits came every morning at 8:30. There was an option to reach the centre and Rogoznica by boat taxi.
      Restaurant is only reachable by car, the terrain and road is not good to walk there.
