Liznjan

Tourist destination info Liznjan

Ližnjan is a fishing village with a naturally protected harbor, located on a small peninsula at the southernmost tip of Istria. The village looks onto the clear blue sea and the Kvarner islands in their full glory. There are 28 km of beautiful and pristine mostly rocky beaches. The history of this small town is really fascinating as evidenced by the settlement sites of over 7000 years old, the remains of Roman villas, amphora pieces and old wrecks that can still be found at the bottom of the sea. It is an ideal place for nature lovers and for those who want to relax away from the traffic, while at the same time staying close to the center of entertainment. Residents of this town, apart from tourism, also engage in fishing just as they did thousands of years ago.

An undiscovered jewel, a small island Levan is located beneath its coasts, with a beautiful sandy beach and two catering objects, and ideal place for those in search of adventure and different sea experience. Visit the church Gospa od Kuj ( built in the 17th century on the same place where once stood a roman villa) and st. Marti church ( from 1879, built on earlier remains, with the statue of saint Titular). Visit the lighthouses Lanterna and Galiola, as well as Svetica ( ancient building with double walls). Like any other Dalmatian place, Liznjan organizes numerous festivities during summer, the most famous of which are “Liznjan night” ( traditional national festivity on August 4), club race ( competition in underwater on April 18) and Velika Gospa ( national festivity with music and gastronomic specialties on August 15). In the evening hours you can enjoy numerous delicacies of restaurant “Bak”, tavern “Galiola”, pizzeria “Kontiki” and the restaurant “Old fisherman”. While you are in Loznjan, do not forget to visit major tourist destinations such as Pula, Porec and Rovinj.

      Opinia zakwaterowania
      Mała i cicha miejscowość która jest dobrą bazą wypadową do zwiedzania. W pobliżu dużo małych kameralnych plaż.

      Wir kommen wieder
      Ein schöner Ort zum Bummeln, lecker Essen gehen und schöne Strände sind auch in der Nähe. Wir haben die nicht so überlaufenen Strände inkl. abenteuerlicher Buckelpisten dort hin bevorzugt. Waren mit Kleinkind und großem Hund gereist. Sehr kinder- und hundefreundlich. Wir kommen definitiv wieder.

      Schöne Wohnung und tolle Vermieter
      Es war sehr schön in der Ferienwohnung. Alles vorhanden was man im Urlaub braucht. Sogar eine Waschmaschine. Süße kleine Terrasse zum verweilen, oder zum Frühstück. Vermieter sehr nett. Auch sein Restaurant in Pula urgemütlich. Tolle Küche 👌👌 Bilder hochladen geht leider nicht 🤨

      Sehr schöner Urlaub in einer sehr schönen Ferienwohnung
      Unser Urlaub in Liznjan in der Ferienwohnung von Ana war sehr schön. Die Wohnung war modern eingerichtet und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Alles war freundlich und sauber. Bei Fragen oder Anliegen stand uns unsere Vermieterin jederzeit zur Verfügung. Die Leute in Liznjan waren sehr nett und es gab auch viele Angebote und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Wir kommen jederzeit gern wieder und können die Unterkunft sehr weiterempfehlen.

      Příjemné místo a vlídní hostitelé
      Určitě doporučuji, dlouhé pláže, každý si najde místo téměř o samotě, paní hostitelka, velmi vstřícná, poradila , kde si koupit regionální zeleninu, víno. Také se mám líbil výlet lodí SANDRA v Medulinu, cca 3 km od Ližnjanu. Z našeho pohledu je lépe přijet autem.

      szuper
      Pár km-re van a Kamenjak-félsziget. Ez kihagyhatatlan, gyönyörű vadregényes hely. Érintetlen partszakaszok, fantasztikus sziklás, kavicsos, homokos partok egyaránt. És nincs tömegnyomor! Már sokszor voltam Horvátországban, sok helyen, de eddig a Kamenjak-félsziget a csúcs!!! A belépő sem vészes 40 KN/autó. Kb 2 hét kellene, hogy minden partszakaszt végignézzen, kipróbáljon az ember, elsőre nem sikerült, így biztos, hogy ide még visszajövünk! Nagyon közel van Pula és Rovinj sincs messze, mindkettő gyönyörű város. Az emberek kedvesek. A tenger gyönyörű, mint mindenhol Horvátországban. :)
      Egy fél napot szenteltünk Medulinban a Bijeca nevezetű strandra, de szerintem nem is ér többet. Kemény letaposott homok, tele szeméttel, cigarettacsikkekkel, és mint a heringek az emberek. Annyira azért nem jó.
