Pommer is a small Istrian fishing village with a dominating church in the main square. In summer, there are often cozy music evenings there.
The whole area of Pula is a large site of Roman remains. There is hardly a bay that does not contain the remains of a Roman villa rustica. The settlement Pomer is located in the middle of a "Roman site" and is certainly very old.

Novigrad is located on a small island that was connected to the mainland in the 18th century. Thanks to its sheltered harbor, Novigrad soon became a colony of Greek sailors. Later, the Romans built their fortified town of Civitas Novum here, and from the 6th to the 19th century, Novigrad was an influential episcopal synod. The medieval road network, the old fortress walls and the towers, which once served to defend the town, have been well preserved to this day and make the place a tourist magnet. The modern village offers cosy cafes, restaurants and boutiques, a modern marina, beautiful long gently walks and sloping rocky and pebble beaches.
Porec
The Riviera Porec - Vrsar presents itself with pine-lined headlands and blue-green lagoons, with offshore islets and bizarrely rugged cliffs. Porec is a friendly town surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Every night, the extremely interesting old town of Porec is filled with life. All the many historic buildings and churches offer an impressive picture with nocturnal lighting.
National park Brijuni
The lush green, consisting of 14 shallow islands and islets, opposite Pula / Veruda archipelago Brijuni has a unique Mediterranean and exotic flora and fauna. From 1947, the Yugoslavian state and party leader Tito had his preferred summer residence on the island. After Tito‘s death in 1980, the islands were declared a national park and since 1985 the island has been open to the public. You can only dock in the port on the main island Veli Brijunj with private boats. There are strict rules for boat tourists. Anchor and passage bans should be strictly observed. The relatively small Brijuni National Park has a number of sights and attractions to offer. In the exotic safari park on Veli Brijuni in the north of the island you can see Nile antelope, llamas, zebras, elephants and many other species. In the Salin bird sanctuary behind the Gromace promontory in the south of the island of Veli Brijuni, swamp plants and three ponds offer native birds and migratory birds an important habitat for resting and nesting. There are remains from all eras in the National Park - starting with the dinosaurs that left their mark on several parts of the island. The ruins in the Val Catena Bay / Uvala Verige date backe to Roman times. In the center of the island is a Venetian castle with a fortified tower and the St. Germanus church. You should plan enough time for this and the many other historical sights.
Medulin
At its southern end, the peninsula of Istria is cut by a seven-kilometer-long bay, in which are again small bays and peninsulas. And here lies Medulin, a lively resort whose mostly sandy seabed only drops off shallowly - ideal for families with children.
Pomer
Although Pomer is only 8 km from Pula, it seems that the place is at the other end of the world. The gentle, deep bay, framed by pine forest and green meadows, conveys tranquility. Pommer is a small Istrian fishing village with a dominating church in the main square. In summer, there are often cozy music evenings there.
The whole area of Pula is a large site of Roman remains. There is hardly a bay that does not contain the remains of a Roman villa rustica. The settlement Pomer is located in the middle of a „Roman site“ and is certainly very old.
Please note that this is just a possible trip suggestion. The Croatian coast, with its countless small islands and bays, offers a a lot of bathing stops and sailing opportunities. Please adapt your individual route to the given wind and weather conditions.
