Rab Island established itself as an Adriatic resort in the late 19th century, hosting such guests as England's Edward VIII and his American girlfriend, Wallis Simpson. The picturesque town of Rab is the island's hub, where stone buildings capped by red roofs climb from the harbor to a cliff. Follow the narrow, twisting streets to a 12th-century monastery, a 13th-century Romanesque cathedral and medieval churches.
