Silo is a small tourist town located in the northeastern part of Krk, opposite Crikvenica. It lies in the well-protected Stipanja Bay, which is naturally closed by Cape Silo, where there is also a lighthouse. The nearest towns are Dobrinj and Vrbnik.
The largest local attraction is the church of St. Nicholas, which was built in 1900. At the entrance to the city are the ruins of a Roman villa. The city celebrates its holiday on August 16, on the day of St. Roch. It has been celebrated since the 19th century, when the island of Krk was hit by a severe plague. The basis of the economy in Silo is agriculture, fishing and shipbuilding. The development of tourism began after 1959, when it started driving the ferry between Crikvenica and Krk. In Silo there are restaurants, bars, shops, a tourist agency, an ambulance and more. There are no hotels in the place, accommodation is available in apartments and rooms of family houses and in the campsite.
In addition to beautiful city beaches and clear sea, there are many recreational opportunities available to visitors. The Blue Flag is hung on the sandy beaches. Interesting is the diving tour of a Greek cargo ship that sank in 1968. It lies at a relatively shallow depth, from 17 to 33 meters.
