Labin

Labin's hilltop old town is a former mining centre, now home to galleries and artist studios in restored stone houses. Its coastal extension, Rabac, gives the municipality a proper seaside resort a short drive downhill — so Labin offers both a historic, workaday inland town and beach access, without being entirely one or the other.

Who it suits

Who it suits

Young couples without children

The area suits scenic routes, swimming and active walks; a car is handy for exploring the surroundings.

Families with children

Look at housing near the equipped beaches of Rabac and check the actual descent to the sea: a short distance on the map can mean stairs or a steep slope.

Older people and retirees

Sea panoramas and promenade walks are attractive, but apartments high above the coast may require daily car trips. The main criterion is how easy the route is from the door to the beach.
