Destination info
Croatia is a country, which on a relatively small area offers great natural and cultural diversities. There are few such small areas in Europe and the world that have as many as eight national parks and a large number of protected nature parks. This is the European meeting point of the East and West, the Central-European and Mediterranean mentality, whereas the extraordinary wealth of cultural heritage testifies to its long and eventful history.
Istria is the largest peninsula in Croatia and the closest Mediterranean destination for countries of Central Europe. The western coast of Istria is our tourist paradise – the Mediterranean you can only dream of.
If we leave the coastal area and set off into the interior of Istria, we arrive in a world of gentle rolling hills with lovely hilltop villages. These beautiful sights of the Istrian landscape can be easily reached from all Arenaturist facilities owing to the good road connections.
Pula, a city on the very south of the Istrian peninsula, is a Mediterranean town on a human scale, known for its pleasant climate and exceptionally indented coastline. Pula's well-kept beaches, pebbly coves and natural rocky coast with the gentle scenery of its hinterland are entirely at disposal of its inhabitants and visitors.
A walk along the streets of Pula is a journey through the layers of its past. Pula is an enchanting place with hundreds of mystical faces that have to be unveiled, so set off from the Arena and continue along the network of streets, defined already during the time of the Roman rule.
Some ten kilometers south of Pula is Medulin – the center of tourism with Arenaturist hotels, tourist resorts, campsites and attractive amusement park.
Once a fishing village, today a modern tourist resort, Medulin offers a dynamic and activity-packed holiday with plenty of cultural events, folk festivals, romantic walks along the picturesque Medulin riviera and gastronomic specialties in its numerous catering facilities.
The area of Medulin also includes nearby Premantura, Banjole and Pomer, small picturesque towns with a fishing tradition, as well as Pješčana Uvala, which are all focused on tourism by constantly enriching their tourist offer. In the south of Istria, where all Arenaturist facilities are located, tourism appeared at the time when it was still unknown.
The Romans, well known as lovers of luxury, recognized the excellence of this area and interwove the lives of Gods into their own. They brought to Pula and Istria their ars vivendi, so that even emperors and their families, as well as many nobles chose this area for rest and pleasure.
