Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LilahA pretty village on the Istrian peninsula’s south-eastern coast, Ližnjan is a relaxing place to take a break. Rocky beaches and views out to the Kvarner Islands set the scene, while the village itself offers a few good restaurants and occasional festivals and events. The location is convenient too, with historic Pula just 12km away, and Rovinj and Poreč within around 50 minutes’ drive.
Pula is known for its many fantastic Roman sights, which elevate this coastal city’s status. The most significant is the vast amphitheatre, known locally as the Arena, which is now the region’s premier tourist attraction. It doesn’t sit empty, as this magnificent arena hosts all sorts of entertainment including big-name concerts and gladiatorial fights (as per its original purpose). A 3rd-century floor mosaic and Pula Cathedral are among the other attractions for history enthusiasts.
Even if that’s not your thing, you’ll find plenty to entertain you. Pula hosts a major film festival each summer, with some screenings taking place in the amphitheatre, as well as music festivals. A contemporary art museum, showcasing the best Istrian art from the mid-20th century to today, is also worth a visit.
Further up the coast, stunning Rovinj is the area’s picture postcard destination. Looking out on a 14-island archipelago, this gorgeous town has great views, history, fine dining and culture. The Old Town’s most famous landmark, the Baroque church of St Euphemia, offers a stunning outlook from its bell tower, modelled on that of St Mark’s Cathedral in Venice.
Water sports and boat trips to the islands are popular ways to spend time in the area, as well as visiting the beautiful Punta Corrente Forest Park. Adventurous types may also like to take a dive down to see the wreck of Austrian steamer, the Baron Gautsch, which lies beneath the waves of Rovinj. A nice time can be had in nearby Bale each summer, courtesy of the Last Minute Open Jazz Festival, while bars around town often offer live music with a local flavour.
Elsewhere around the region, you have everything from the mountainous Učka Nature Park to water parks and cycling trails. Also look out for Poreč’s impressive Baredine Cave, Motovun’s International Film Festival and Svetvinčenat’s annual wine and cheese festivals. Most of Croatian Istria can be reached within an hour’s drive from Ližnjan, giving you near-endless possibilities for excursions in the region.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere’s loads to keep the kids entertained all over Istria. The region packs a lot in, and one of the big attractions is Aqualand Istralandia. Just a few minutes’ drive from Novigrad on the west coast, this huge water park offers Croatia’s highest water slide, a hydromassage pool and kids’ favourites like Pirate Lagoon and the Space Rocket. Poreč’s Aquapark Aquacolors also delivers the goods, with a long lazy river and more giant water slides.
Less wet, but just as much fun, are the treetop adventures of Glavani Park. In a forest setting around 30 minutes north-east of Pula, this park is equipped with climbing nets, zip wires and big swings which drop from 11m up.
Motodrom Poreč offers exciting go-karting, with a track just for 6–12-year-olds alongside the main track for teenagers and adults. Also near Poreč, lovers of the prehistoric will embrace the theme of Dinopark Funtana. This pretty coastal town also offers the chance to go dolphin-spotting on an unforgettable boat cruise.
Budding geologists will love going underground at Poreč’s stunning Baredine Cave, and you’ll find more caves at Špilja Mramornica, not far from Aqualand Istralandia. The region is also big on marine life, with Adriatic aquariums found in Umag, Poreč and Rovinj.
Umag’s Squirrel Park is a lovely place to learn about these creatures, with lots of activities for younger children. Also on a wildlife theme, the fragrant Istrian Butterfly Garden in Bale is another special sight.
Around 45 minutes from Ližnjan, the similarly named Višnjan is home to the Tican Observatory, which offers the chance to look up at the stars on certain evenings. Free to visit, it’s sure to be a memorable experience – and there’s even a piece of meteorite on display.
Closer to base, the city of Pula is home to the spectacular amphitheatre, known as the Arena, which is a true must-see. When you’ve got your photos and checked out the entertainment, you could also visit the nearby MEMO Museum. Unlike some museums, this one doesn’t take you back centuries – the interactive exhibit focuses on the 1950s to the 1980s, with examples of transport, technology, furniture, fashion and all sorts of other 20th-century bits and pieces. A fun and educational look at life in the former Yugoslavia.
