Tourist destination info Medulin

Medulin - once a small fishing village, today is a modern tourist center. It is one of the main centers of Istrian tourism with richly indented coastline. The sea makes up three-quarters of the Medulin Riviera with rich flora and fauna which further enhances a visit to this area. Medulin is a town where you can spend a quiet and romantic but also a dynamic and meaningful holiday. The city is known for its beautiful sandy, pebble and rocky beaches, the most famous being Bijeca. Because of its rich sports infrastructure it is a favorite destination for sporting activities throughout the year, where sports fans can enjoy football, horse riding, tennis, sailing, mini golf, flying, bowling, beach volleyball, diving, the underwater world, and many other water sports. Explore the Vižules archaeological site with ruins of Roman villas and tour the old windmills by the sea. While enjoying the various offerings of Medulin, take some time to visit ancient Pula, Istrian Mummies, National Park Brijuni, National Park Plitvice Lakes, Nature Park Cape Kamenjak, Venice and many other beautiful sights on the Istrian peninsula. At one of the many festivities held during the summertime you can try some of the specialties of Medulin such as crab sald, cuttlefish risotto, Istrian prosciutto or any of the aromatic specialties made with truffles. You can enjoy yourself and relax during concerts of classical music, visit restaurants and dance on their terraces or visit one of the night clubs and entertain yourself until the morning. While in Medulin, don’t miss the opportunity to visit other nearby tourist centers such as Rovinj, Poreč, Pazin and Umag.

Did you know? The name Medulin comes from the old Roman name of Mutila.

Landmarks:

Vižula- the great ancient archaeological complex which is located in the very center of the Medulin bay. This complex contains the remains of ancient tombs, remains of settlements of the older Neolithic period and the remains of a roman country villa. This complex is of great importance because it is proof of the existence of human culture in the area of Medulin during the older Neolithic period.

Prehistoric forts on the Vrčevan hill – the hill Vrčevan and Kašteji peninsula are home to prehistoric forts which were built during the Middle Bronze and Iron Ages.

Arcus – in the XX century during the excavation of the base for Hotel Arcus, remains of an ancient cemetery were found.

Pre - Romanesque sculpture on St. Peter hill – pieces of a pre - Romanesque sculpture were found on the hill of St. Peter.

      Milna - idealna destinacija za odmor
      Preporučujem Milnu kao destinaciju ako vam treba pravi odmor. Jako je mirno te ima plaža koje su na osami i predivnih uvala. Također u mjestu je i dobra gastronomska ponuda sa puno restorana i kafića. Za one koji vole aktivniji odmor, također imaju svakodnevni izleti organizirani iz Milne i usluge iznajmljivanja brodova.

      Milna, joli petit port
      Petit port typique et authentique, où il est agréable de se promener, loin des foules de touristes. Quelques supérettes, boulangerie, légumier, des marchands d''objet en pierre de Brac et des konobas.

      Brač je překrásný ostrov.
      Na ostrov jsme si přivezli čtyřkolku, na které jsme jej celý projeli a opravdu to byly zážitky, klášter Blaca, Vidova Gora, Bol a jiná zajímavá místa, prostě nádhera. Malá přístavní městečka mají svoji atmosféru, lidé jsou milí a pohostinní, rádi se sem vrátíme.Jana a Aleš z Lichnova.

      Otok za odmor
      Vecinu odmora smo proveli u Milni i okolici. Milna je malo ribarsko mjesto ali opet ima sve sto je potrebno. Plaze koje smo posjetili su prekrasne. More je predivno i cisto. Zlatni Rat je bio pun turista i iz tog razloga nismo se tamo puno zadrzali jer smo bili u potrazi za mirnijim plazama a njih na Bracu ima jako puno. Voznju trajektom za Brac preporucam iz Splita jer su trajekti puno veci za razliku iz Makarske. Takodjer kraj trajektne luke u Superu ima divna plaza ukoliko nemate srece i morate cekati dugo drugi trajekt.
