Baska is an old settlement at the southern tip of Krk Island on Bascanska Cover. It was once just a small fishing village but is now regarded as the best resort town on the Island of Krk. It boasts a very popular 2km / 1mi long pebble beach in front of the town and is always busy during the summer. There are also some hiking opportunities in the
area and the setting here is quite beautiful.
Baska was originally a Roman settlement set further back from the present day town, on a hillside. Most of the original town was destroyed by the Venetians. In the early 16th Century the new town of Baska was developed closer to the sea, where it is located today. There are some well preserved 16th Century homes which now house shops and restaurants.
Not far from town is the Church of St Lucy (Crkva Sv Lucije) where the famous Baska Tablet (Bascanska Ploca) was discovered. There is a hiking trail which leads from Baska to the church.
