This walled city got a huge buster shot when Augustus decided to make it a Roman city. Fortification came as well as civilization. It all arises from a peninsula that has just the right steepness to make it an easy city to fortify. From a distance you see 4 bell towers that stand as exclamation marks pushing skyward from the stone buildings below. The city itself has a great vibe to it with lots of energy and live music singing out standards that the whole world knows how to sing. Rab also has a huge harbor for it’s size that gives you visions of old clipper ships throwing their lines to the big brass mooring posts that are big enough to have dinner on. This place became a favorite of mine. We were planning to stay one night. We stayed three.
