Thalassotherapia Crikvenica

The Thalassotherapia Crikvenica is a medical centre with a hundred-year tradition of using thalassotherapy in health care, prevention, medical holidays and rehabilitation. Thanks to its location in a cove with crystal clear sea next to a pebble beach and a 6 km-promenade, amidst a verdant Mediterranean park, the Thalassotherapia is ideal for thalassotherapy treatments, convalescence and rest. As early as a hundred years ago, Crikvenica was recognised by the first European visitors as the perfect place to relax and convalesce due to its extraordinarily favourable climate, mild winters and moderately warm summers, favourable air currents, unique mixture of sea and mountain air, abundance of sea aerosol in the air, and extraordinarily clean, shallow sea. At that time, on the location of the present Thalassotherapia Crikvenica, there was a sanatorium for children from Bohemia and Slovakia. Today's Thalassotherapia is a modern medical institute that combines the principles of thalassotherapy with the latest achievements in modern medicine, which yields exceptional results in treating diseases of the musculoskeletal and respiratory systems in children, adults and senior citizens.
For many years, the Thalassotherapia has successfully collaborated with medical institutes all over Croatia, especially the Clinical Hospital Centres in Rijeka and Zagreb, clinical hospitals in Zagreb, the medical schools in Rijeka and Zagreb, the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb, and the Institute of Public Health of Primorje-Gorski kotar County.
