Villa Moana includes a Vespa scooter for guests — no rental fee, helmets included. Guests mention it again and again in their reviews. Here are three routes we recommend.
Why a Vespa on Krk
Some of the island’s best corners are easier on two wheels. Narrow cliff roads, unmarked tracks to coves, a winding descent into Vrbnik at 6am with nobody else on the road. A Vespa makes Krk a completely different island. Maximum speed is approximately 45 km/h — more than enough. On a coast road above the sea, slower is always better anyway.
The freedom it gives is real. You are not committed to a car park. You are not waiting for a tour bus. You find a track leading off the road, you follow it, and sometimes it ends at a cove that isn't on any map. This happens more often than you would expect on Krk.
Practical Information
The Vespa is a 50cc scooter, so you need a driving licence that is valid for mopeds; if you are unsure whether yours is, ask us before you travel. Non-EU guests should carry an international driving permit alongside their home licence. Two people can ride together; two helmets are provided.
The Vespa is kept in the covered garage at Villa Moana. Ask us on arrival about road conditions, the best time of day for each route, and where to be cautious. Fuel: the tank is full when you arrive; for a long day of riding, fill up at the petrol stations in Krk Town, about 20 minutes by road.
Route 1 — Vrbnik Wine Loop (30 minutes)
Villa Moana → cliff road out of Vrbnik → viewpoint above the Vinodol Channel → old town of Vrbnik (park at the top, walk Klančić) → return via the lower road.
Best at sunrise. You will pass zero cars. The cliff road climbs out of Vrbnik to the north and within four minutes you are on a limestone ridge with the Vinodol Channel below you and the vineyards of the Vrbnik field behind. The viewpoint above the channel is unmarked but unmissable: a natural stone platform where you stop, cut the engine, and listen to nothing. Then ride down into the old town for coffee before anyone else is awake.
Route 2 — North-East Coast (half a day)
Vrbnik → the coast road north past the coves of Javna and Melska → Sv. Marak beach near Risika (a swim and a drink at the beach bar) → back the same way along the water.
This is the quiet side of Krk. The road runs right along the sea past empty pebble coves on sandy seabeds; some stretches are gravel, so ride slowly. Stop for a swim at one of the coves, then have a drink at Sv. Marak before riding back along the water.
Route 3 — Krk Town and Punat (about 1.5 hours of riding)
Vrbnik → Malinska → Krk Town (park near the walls, explore on foot) → Punat (optional: small boat to Košljun Franciscan monastery island) → return.
Best as a half-day: morning Vespa ride, park outside the old walls of Krk Town, spend two hours on foot inside the Roman town — the cathedral, the Frankopan castle, the narrow streets. Then ride 10 minutes south to Punat, where small boats leave for Košljun island, home to a Franciscan monastery with a library of rare books. Back in time for a late lunch on the terrace at Villa Moana.
"The coast road north of Vrbnik at sunrise — empty, the Adriatic right beside you. You will want to do it every morning."
— Benjamin Haller, owner
What Guests Say
Guests mention the Vespa again and again in their reviews. It changes how the week feels — less resort, more adventure.
"The Vespa at the villa turns fetching breakfast into a special little outing ;)"
— Daniela, guest at Villa Moana, June 2026
The coves are real. The empty roads are real. This is what Krk looks like when you are not following a tour bus.
