Nature Places Map
Nature in Istria:
Baredine Cave
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.
Brijuni National Park
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!
Ambrela Beach
Lone Bay
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.
Park Forest Zlatni Rt
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!
Pazin Cave
Festinsko Kraljevstvo
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!
Aquarium Pula
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
