The flora and the fauna

The island of Rab is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic. Most of the island is covered in pine forests and the holm oak.

The Lopar peninsula is the habitat of numerous species of wild Mediterranean plants. The most important cultivated plants are grape, olives, figs, potatoes and tomatoes.

Apart from farm animals, the island’s fauna includes wild animals such as the hare, pheasant, and some birds of prey, as well as some species of big game in the close-by island of Grgur, such as the fallow deer and roe dear.

Schools of dolphins, always ready for play and frolic, can often be seen off the shore of Lopar.
