Medulin is a beautiful family resort just 8 km southeast of Pula. This is a great place to stay if you want to be in a resort-like place, but in close proximity to the beautiful architectural monuments of Pula.
In Medulin there is a 1 km long sandy beach of Biecsa. It is quite shallow, which makes it ideal for those with children, and here you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas.
Novigrad is one of the northernmost cities on the Croatian coast, located right on the tip of the Istrian peninsula. It remains underserved due to some of its better-known Istrian counterparts, including Umag, Poreč and Rovinj.Novigrad has a lot of charm, great accommodation options and exciting attractions nearby. The city is also a great place if you want to try some of Istria's famous gastronomic dishes!
