A dream vacation in Croatia, the city of Pula

Pula, a seaside town at the tip of Croatia's Istrian Peninsula, is known for its sheltered harbour, beach-lined coastline and Roman ruins. Settled in prehistoric times and valued for its strategic location.

The surrounding natural environment, the countryside and the turquoise water of the Adriatic Sea have made the city a superb summer holiday destination. The nearby pearl is Brioni Island or Brijuni National Park visited by many world leaders as it was the summer residence of Josip Broz Tito. Roman villas and temples still lie buried among the agricultural fields and along the shores of dozens of surrounding fishing and farming villages. Here you will find beautiful beaches, fishing, diving.

Pula is the end point of the EuroVelo 9 cycle route that runs from Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea through Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia.
