Cizici - Island Krk

Čižići are located in the northern part of the municipality Dobrinj, in the bay of Solin. Given that Soline very shallow and that ujezerenog type that the fluctuation is minimal, the sea front Čižićima significantly warmer than the sea outside the peaceful bays and thus suitable for long "swimming season". Near the site Cizici Meline - the coastal area is characterized by its healing mud.

The old part of the village is actually not located on the coast than one hundred meters away from the coast on a small hill.
