Add to my wishlist

Fourteen green gems set into the blue expanse of the northern Adriatic in the west of Istria near ancient Pula are a wonderful treasure whose charms have been shaped by both man and nature.

As one of Croatia’s national parks, Brijuni are known as an oasis of peace. According to legend, the islands were formed when angels pieced together little pieces of heaven strewn across the land of Istria.

Dinosaur footprints and ruins of ancient Roman villas, Byzantine forts, Venetian buildings, and Austro-Hungarian architecture give the islands of Brijuni their singular charm, which worked its magic and won over the hearts of numerous stars of the silver screen and powerful political figures of the 20th century.

 

The best way to experience the tame wilderness of the Brijuni Islands is by visiting the unique Safari Park inhabited by numerous animal species, or by going for a stroll in the Mediterranean garden, home to more than 160 indigenous plant species. 

 

Getting to know this island paradise means becoming one with nature and enjoying the special symphony of the sea and the Mediterranean. Last but not least, make sure to pay a visit to Koki, the big yellow-crested cockatoo, the biggest celebrity on the islands, with which every visitor to this unique place would love to get a selfie.
