Did you know that the people of Opatija consider their favorite season to be the “fifth season” — the season of carnival? On Saint Anthony's Day, January 17, the Carnival officially begins with the raising of the flag and the hanging of Pust, the symbolic culprit blamed for all the misfortunes of the past year. From that moment on, Opatija becomes a place of laughter, fun, and magical transformations.
