Camellia Festival in Opatija
Text provided by Mira Shalabi / Photo’s by David Kurti
The city of Opatija is the synonym and birthplace of Croatian tourism and the beautiful Camellia flower, which arrived in Opatija in 1845 (‘Rubra Simplex’), also gives a great contribution to it.
The Association of Camellia Lovers has 140 members and has been successfully promoting the City for 13 years by organizing an exhibition of camellias for citizens and tourists, some of whom come precisely because of camellias.

The planned week of the 13th Camellia Festival Opatija “shrank” and became only the Camellia Exhibition from March 26th to 28th, 2021 due to COVID-19 measures.
Ali the visitors of the beautiful Juraj Šporer pavilion had the opportunity to see a symphony of live flowers, photographs of flowers and bushes, but also artwork by schoolchildren and kindergarteners, along with souvenirs of members of the Association, all on the topic of camellias.
