About Brijuni National Park
The Brijuni islands lie just off the coast near Pula, a national park of green islands, clear sea and rich history. Boats leave Fažana every 30 to 60 minutes for the 15-minute crossing. On Veliki Brijun, a tourist train tour takes in the safari park, Roman ruins and untouched pine forest, while quieter Mali Brijun and guided kayak trips through the protected marine area reward a longer stay. You can even sleep on the islands, at the historic Hotel Istra, the Austro-Hungarian-style Hotel Neptun or private villas.
