Arbia: A Glimpse into Rab Island's History

Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of Rab Island, the quaint village of Arbia stands as a testament to centuries of rich history and cultural heritage.

Dating back to ancient times, Arbia has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the ebb and flow of trade, and the evolution of island life.

Originally settled by the Illyrians, Arbia later became a bustling Roman port, serving as a vital link in the Adriatic trade network. Over the centuries, it flourished as a center of commerce, its cobblestone streets lined with merchants hawking goods from distant lands.

During the Middle Ages, Arbia found itself at the crossroads of civilizations, its strategic location attracting the attention of Venetian and Byzantine rulers alike.

The village prospered under their rule, its walls fortified to defend against invaders and pirates who sought to plunder its wealth.

Today, Arbia retains its old-world charm, its historic buildings and narrow alleyways offering a glimpse into the island’s storied past. Visitors can wander through ancient churches, explore hidden courtyards, and soak up the atmosphere of a bygone era.

As you stroll through Arbia’s timeless streets, you can’t help but feel a sense of awe at the resilience of this island community.

From its humble beginnings to its present-day allure, Arbia stands as a living testament to the enduring spirit of Rab Island and its people.

Rab is known for its wonderful nature and cultural and historical heritage. The green forests of the island will provide you with enough shade for your recreational activities.

The blue coves will help you find some peace and offer you the opportunity to awaken your adventurous spirit and enjoy an activity holiday on the island of Rab.
