Taxi Malinska

Taxi Diviz is located in Malinska, which is located in a picturesque bay on the northwestern part of the island of Krk.

The history of Malinska begins in the 15th century, with the construction of a mill (Čakavian: malin) after which Malinska got its name. In the 18th century, along with the already existing port of Porat, Malinska itself became a significant port on the island, from which the products of that rural area were exported; wood, olive oil and agricultural and livestock products. The first houses in the settlement were built in Malinska in 1788 and 1795, but it remained until the end of the 19th century. Malinska was a very small village. The development of Malinska was fatefully determined in 1880, and the arrival of the first tourist steamer. Since then, a new branch of Malinska’s economy has started – tourism. At first it was exclusively hunting, and since the 20th century health and bathing tourism has developed. Since then, Malinska has been developing slowly, and the population is increasing.

The peak of Malinska’s development was in the 1970s when the Haludovo Hotel Resort was opened. When completed in 1971, it was the most exclusive settlement on the eastern Adriatic coast. Within the Haludovo settlement, there was also a casino that was supposed to be a magnet for rich tourists throughout the year. In 1972, some 60 Penthouse bunnies came to the Haludova casino, which were supposed to give the casino a glow and the necessary glamor. But soon that experimental business connection, between American publisher Bob Gucione and domestic hoteliers, broke down. Haludovo did not become the new Monte Carlo, and the tourist season did not significantly extend into the winter months, but Haludovo still worked relatively well, until the privatization in 1990. Today, Haludovo is in a very bad condition, and most of it is not working.
