Riviera of Fazana – Holidays Between Sea, History and Cuisine

Fazana – Culture, Sea and Holiday Accommodation on the Southwest Coast of Istria

Fazana is more than the gateway to the legendary Brijuni National Park. The Riviera in southwestern Istria is shaped primarily by the sea and its eventful history, dating back to Roman times. The main town of the Riviera, the fishing village of Fazana, is officially dedicated to the sardine, which has been traditionally caught here for centuries. Visitors can experience this tradition at the Sardine Fishing Academy, along Sardine Street with numerous specialized restaurants, or at the Sardine Sculpture Park directly by the sea.

Many guests start their holiday in Fazana in carefully selected holiday apartments, studios, rooms, apartments, or holiday homes to explore the charming coastal town and region comfortably.

Excursions and Attractions

After a hearty meal, a stroll through picturesque Fazana or a visit to nearby Vodnjan with its stunning Renaissance, Gothic, and Baroque buildings is highly recommended. Relaxation and refreshment await at fantastic beaches such as Fazana North Beach, South Beach on the Olive Avenue, or Camping Pineta Beach with views of the offshore islands. The village of Peroj also captivates with unique sights like Istria's only Orthodox church and preserves Montenegrin traditions.

Brijuni National Park and Island Adventures

Those wishing to visit the Brijuni Islands and the national park can start from Peroj to avoid long queues during peak season. A day trip to the main island is always worthwhile to explore former guest villas, the safari park with an electric train, an 18-hole golf course, and professional tennis courts. The colorful underwater world completes the experience.

Beach Holidays and Exclusive Accommodation

Whether beach holidays, active vacations, or sightseeing tours – the Fazana Riviera offers the perfect holiday accommodation for every preference. From hotels to villas to private apartments and studios, guests will find comfortable bases to fully enjoy the sea, nature, and culture.
