Top Nature in Istria

Bring a light jacket! It's cooler inside the cave than you'd expect, especially if you're visiting during the summer months.

I suggest checking if they have any special events or discounts on certain days before you go – we managed to snag a reduced ticket price on our visit!

If you want to avoid the crowds, aim to arrive around 10 AM. It was way less busy than the later tours, and we had a more personal experience with our guide.

Bring some snacks and water with you! The food options on the island are nice but can get pricey. I wish I had brought a packed lunch instead of spending so much on a mediocre sandwich.

Try to arrive around 9 AM to beat the crowds. I got there early on my second day and it was so much nicer without throngs of people everywhere. Plus, the morning views are stunning!

I recommend booking your ferry ticket in advance. When I went, there was a long line at the ticket booth and I ended up waiting while my friends were aboard. Save yourself that hassle and just book it online!

If you’re planning on swimming, swim shoes are a must! The entry into the water is rocky, and I wish I had brought mine to avoid sore feet.

Don't forget your water shoes! The pebbles can be a bit sharp, and wearing them made my time at the beach so much more comfortable. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach bars can be a bit pricey, and you'll save quite a bit by packing a picnic. Plus, you can enjoy it right by the water!

If you want to snag a good spot on the beach, I suggest arriving before 9 am. It gets crowded quick, especially on weekends! You'll have more space to stretch out and enjoy the views.

Make sure to bring snacks and water. I learned the hard way that there aren't many places inside the park to grab a bite, so pack a little picnic!

I think it’s wise to bring your own water and snacks. The cafe there is super limited and kinda pricey, so save some cash for the souvenirs instead!

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. It's way less crowded, and you can take your time looking at all the exhibits without feeling rushed
