Senj Port of Entry
| |
| |
The harbour of Senj lies on the mainland coast of Croatia in the Vinodolska channel, opposite the SE end of the island of Krk and close to the point where the Vinodolska channel becomes the Velebitski channel. The town itself is ancient, dating back well before the Roman period, and well worth visiting. The harbour, however, does not offer good shelter and is a place to be avoided if there is any risk of a bora or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from N round to SW. In settled weather, however, it is a fascinating place to visit and little frequented by cruising yachts.
