Holiday homes no more than one kilometre from the beach — measured, not estimated. Each home states the walk to the beach under “Location & surroundings”.
It offers a good mix of relaxation, food, beach, nature and culture. Around the village are two sports centres, cycling and walking paths and two family-friendly beaches with services and water sports, partly rocky and partly covered in round pebbles.
Beaches and activities
The best-known beach is Centinera, next to a pine forest and the Centinera resort, where everyone finds a quiet spot in the sun or in the shade of a pine. It has rocky stretches and sections of smooth round pebbles.
Del Mar Beach lies beside the hotel of the same name. About 450 m long, it shelves gently into the sea and suits families with children very well.
More quiet beaches, bays and beautiful nature await to the south in the protected area of Cape Kamenjak near Premantura, also loved for its plants and wild herbs.
Sights and excursions
A trip to the Brijuni Islands is well worth it: this group of 14 islands became a national park in 1983, and boats leave from Fažana. The largest island, Veli Brijun, has hotels and a safari park.
Restaurants, konobas and grills in the village centre serve fresh local fish, seafood and typical Istrian dishes with regional wines. Festivals, cultural events and sports tournaments take place during the year, with more on offer in Pomer, Premantura, Medulin and Pula.
History lovers should head for Medulin and Pula. Around Medulin, numerous archaeological sites preserve Roman treasures, including a necropolis with several hundred graves near the Vižula peninsula, and remains of Bronze and Iron Age forts have been found at Kašteja and Vrčevan.
Pula, about 7 km away and one of the oldest towns on the Adriatic, makes an ideal day trip, with its Roman amphitheatre, Temple of Augustus, Arch of the Sergii, castle, cathedral and Archaeological Museum.
