Rab (Italian Arbe) is an island located just
off the northern Croatian coast in the Adriatic
Sea, today in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar county. The island was the frontier
between Liburnia and Dalmatia. The island is 22
km long, has an area of 93.6 km2 and 9,480 inhabitants. The highest peak
is Kamenjak at 408 meters. The northeastern side of the island is mostly
barren, karst, while the southwestern side is covered in green pine forests.

beautiful beaches and many events, particularly the Rab arbalest tournament
and Rab Medieval festival. Ferries connect the island of Rab with
the mainland port of Jablanac and with the neighbouring island Krk.
