Hints and tips from the owner:

" ISTRIAN CUISINE Along the coast, fish and seafood reign while the interior hills are devoted to their meat dishes. Scampi Buzara is a delightfully messy dish based on local scampi (prawns) stewed in a tomato and white wine sauce. Istrian dried ham (prsut) is a point of local pride. Perhaps Istria's most famous gastronomic specialty is its truffles. Whether stirred into an omelette or combined with fresh pasta, a truffle meal in Istria is not to be missed! The most characteristic wines are Malvazija and Teran. PARADISE FOR CYCLISTS There are some sixty marked bike trails throughout Istria, of which about 1500 kilometers are circular trails! Fažana bike trail, which is 12 kilometers long, offers an additional experience of the wonderful coastline, while passing along sweet smelling Mediterranean vegetation with a magnificent view of the Brijuni (Brioni) Islands. BRIJUNI NATIONAL PARK Brijuni National Park is an oasis of the magnificent harmony between man, animal and plant life. There are almost 700 plant species and about 250 bird species on the islands, whereas the mild Mediterranean climate makes it a pleasant health resort. After leaving Fažana, the line of green islands viewed from the boat, transforms into Veliki Brijun, the largest of the 14 islands. The traces of dinosaurs, remains of Antiquity and later periods, achievements of modern times are all present in this area, whose development as an exclusive resort starts in 1893 thanks to the “old Austrian”, the industrialist Paul Kupelwieser, owner of the Brijuni Islands. PULA The most famous and important monument, the starting and ending point of every sightseeing tour is the Amphitheater, popularly called the Arena of Pula, which was once the site of gladiator fights. It was built in the 1st century AD during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, at the same time as the magnificent Colosseum in Rome. "
