Full Description & Details
Kurtovo Harbour, also known as Luka Zurkovo, is a small harbour located in the village of Zurkovo, within the Kostrena municipality on the Croatian mainland coast. It sits on the southern shore of the Rijeka Bay, roughly opposite the island of Krk. The harbour is primarily a local mooring area, with a few berths for small craft.
The setting is residential and low-key, with no large-scale marina facilities. The water is sheltered from the north by the mainland, but open to the south and southwest, so conditions can be lively in southerly winds. The harbour is not a major destination, but it offers a quiet stop for a small boat looking to tie up near the local community.
How to get there
Approach to Kurtovo Harbour is from the south, entering the small basin that opens to the sea. There is no marked channel, and depths are shallow, so a careful visual approach is required. The harbour is not equipped with a VHF working channel; contact is not standard.
The nearest larger harbour is at Kostrena, about 1 nautical mile to the west, which offers more services. For land access, the harbour is reached by road from the town of Kostrena, with Zurkovo ulica leading directly to the waterfront. The nearest airport is Rijeka Airport on Krk, about 20 kilometres away, requiring a ferry crossing.
