MEA FESTIVAL aka K.u.K.

If there is a place that uniquely combines various differences, than this place is Opatija! For where else can you experience the combination of the sea and the mountain, where else can you feel the spirit of the impressive history combined with the modern present, where else each drop of the sea touches the coast with so much love and pride, where else…, oh, there are so many questions that we could ask starting with "where else"!
Aware of what we have, we proudly present and bid you welcome to you the MEA Festival –the Mitteleuropa Abbazia Festival! A festival of history and present, a festival of friendship, a very unique festival…

Opatija open its door to you, just like it always did, inviting you to share its beauty, is distinctiveness, its very own spirit …

The door is wide open – step inside!
