Volosko, a small fishing village where life has long been oriented towards the sea, is today a popular gastronome destination with superb restaurants. The heart of Volosko is its small fishing harbour, known as mandrać.
The harbour is today a stage for performances of jazz music and klapa vocal groups, as well as other artistic events. The Mediterranean spirit is woven into the architecture of Volosko, a place whose narrow streets and stone steps hide several ateliers and art galleries. In addition to cultural and historical sights of interest, including the house where the world-famous scientist Andrija Mohorovičić was born, another reason for visiting the place is its beaches and the 12 kilometre long Lungomare seaside promenade, which starts in Volosko and winds its way along the coast to Opatija and further on to Lovran. Before Opatija became a holiday resort, Volosko was the seat of the district, the area's administrative centre and an important trade port. Today Volosko has lost that importance, but not its marvellous appeal as a scenic fishing village. When walking through the lanes in the historic part of the city, there is the monument commemorating Volosko as the birthplace of Andrija Mohorovičić, who was the world-famous scientist. He was born in the house at the very beginning of the Lungomare coastal promenade.
Today Volosko is also synonymous with good gastronomy. There are 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.
