Coastal adventures and family fun
Just a short drive from the campsite, the coastal towns of Vrsar and Poreč offer endless seaside adventures. Families can enjoy boat trips to nearby islands, dolphin-watching excursions or an exciting day at Aquacolors Water Park, one of Croatia’s largest. For a different thrill, head to Dinopark Funtana, where life-sized dinosaurs and live shows bring prehistory to life. The coastline’s bike paths and sea-view promenades are perfect for active families who want to explore together while enjoying Istria’s sparkling Adriatic scenery.


Nature, cycling and outdoor discovery
The region surrounding the resort is a paradise for outdoor families. Explore scenic cycling routes through pine forests and olive groves, or follow the gentle Parenzana Trail, a former railway turned into a family-friendly walking and biking path connecting picturesque Istrian villages. Nearby Lim Fjord Nature Reserve offers kayaking, hiking, and stunning viewpoints above turquoise waters. Whether you choose a morning ride, a picnic in the shade, or a boat tour through the fjord, this area blends active fun with the peace of unspoiled Mediterranean nature.
History, culture and hidden villages
Families who love culture will enjoy wandering through Poreč’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, with its narrow streets, Roman ruins and the Euphrasian Basilica. A little inland, the hilltop villages of Motovun and Grožnjan showcase Istria’s artistic soul — cobblestone alleys, artisan shops, and charming cafés overlooking vineyards. Markets brim with local honey, truffles and olive oil, making it easy to experience authentic Istrian life. It’s a gentle mix of discovery and relaxation that families of all ages will remember long after the holiday ends.
Excursions and island experiences
Set sail from nearby marinas and discover Istria from the sea. Families can enjoy a glass-bottom boat ride, take a day trip to Rovinj, or join a sunset cruise to spot playful dolphins. For a touch of adventure, the Brijuni National Park islands—reachable by boat from Fažana—offer nature trails, a safari park, and archaeological sites perfect for young explorers. Back on land, evening markets and summer festivals fill nearby villages with music, crafts, and local food, creating the perfect blend of excitement and easygoing coastal charm.
