Brioni is a group of islands in front of the western coast of Istria. The islands are separated from the mainland by the Fazana Strait and are located 6 km from Pula. 14 of them have the status of a national park. The largest island has several hotels and individual villas. There is also the former residence of President Tito, where at one time the crowned heads and heads of state, including our Nikita Khrushchev, came here.

Rest there will cost quite a lot: the resort is intended more for the elite than for mere mortals.

The best way to get around Brijuni is by bike or a special golf car.

The weather in Brijuni

Due to the favorable geographic location and low landscape, the climate on the islands is temperate and rather humid. The vegetation is rich in Mediterranean oaks, laurels, pines, olives and rosemary.

The average air temperature in winter is +6.3 ° C, in spring +12.2 ° C, in summer +22.2 ° C and in autumn +14.8 ° C. The sea temperature in summer is from +22 to +25 ° C. It turns out that almost all year round the islands have comfortable weather, although the water does not warm up here to the state of "fresh milk", but this is typical for the islands. Humidity is quite high here, which is also typical for the island climate.

Infrastructure

On the island there are several restaurants, a sports complex, a water sports center, diving, fishing, boat and yacht rental, several tennis courts, a tennis school, a golf course (9 holes), a riding school, bicycle and electric car rental.

Entertainment and attractions

The islands are not only beautiful, they are widely known in the scientific world: the archaeological finds made here, without exaggeration, are priceless. Due to the mild climate, the vegetation on the islands is lush and varied. In addition to 600 species of native plants, 30 imported species grow beautifully here. Here you can see groves of relict oak, strawberry trees, sequoias and eucalyptus trees. In 1984, the Brijuni archipelago was declared a Croatian National Park.

The archipelago was already a well-known resort during the time of the Roman Empire; the ruins of the buildings of that time have survived to this day on the islands. Walking among them it is quite possible to imagine those beautiful villas that once stood here and life in them.

Briony and Tito

The archipelago is also known as the seat of the former Yugoslav leader Joseph Broz Tito. Today, the residence houses the Broz Tito Museum. And since the Yugoslav leader had a very interesting hobby - he loved watching exotic animals - Tito inherited a wonderful safari park, where you can see zebras, giraffes and other exotic animals. To do this, you need to join one of the groups that go on a sightseeing tour of the park from the museum building on an open tourist train.

Once upon a time, crowned heads and heads of state came to this island, played golf and tennis, ate delicacies, and swam in the clear water of the Adriatic Sea.

  • Where to stay: nudists, as well as connoisseurs of peace, tranquility and the authentic atmosphere of the Middle Ages - in Vrsar; romantics - in Rovinj; party-goers - in Pula. Porec, due to the fact that it is picturesquely stretched along the coast, is equally well suited for lovers of evening festivities (settle closer to the center) and fans of solitude (your destiny is the south of the resort). Active and sporty tourists will like Medulin, families - in Rabac, Lovran or Novigrad. Combining a vacation in Croatia with a trip to other countries is convenient in

Not far from Pula in the Adriatic Sea are the Brijuni Islands, which attract with their wild nature, beautiful landscape and a wide variety of fauna. This place is the National Park of Istria, and at different times such persons as Emperor Franz Joseph, Queen of England, as well as many other heads of state and politicians met here among vacationers. In addition to them, the islands also attracted such famous personalities as Mario del Monaco, Naomi Campbell, Placido Domingo and others. It was this archipelago that gave its name to the famous fashion brand Brioni.

Historical reference

The Brijuni Islands were known to the ancient Romans, who used them mainly as a source of natural white limestone. The area was transformed into an elite recreation area after the famous Viennese magnate Paul Kupelwieser bought the entire archipelago of 14 islands in 1893 and decided to create an exclusive beach resort here. First-class hotels, restaurants, casinos were built here, as well as beach resorts and yacht harbors. Thus, the Brijuni Islands became the center of Austrian social life, where they could enjoy a comfortable stay. Kupelwieser also created a sailing regatta and a golf course. Various music concerts and literary evenings began to be held here.

After 1918, the islands became part of Italy. The son of the resort's founder, Karl Kupelwieser, tried to maintain the former splendor of the area, but after the economic crisis of 1929 he went bankrupt and committed suicide. As a result, from 1930, the Brijuni Islands came under the control of the Italian government and remained part of Italy until its surrender in 1943.

After World War II, Brijuni became part of Yugoslavia, and the President of the country, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, made the islands his personal state residence. For him, a house was built here, the project of which was developed by the architect Jože Plečnik. Here the President received foreign guests and negotiated. In addition to politicians, famous movie stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Carlo Ponti and Gina Lollobrigida came here. By 1983, after Tito's death, the Brijuni Islands were declared the National Park of Yugoslavia.

In 1991 Croatia gained independence and made the archipelago an international convention center. Four hotels have been opened here, as well as a safari park, where among the animals there are two Indian elephants, donated to President Tito by Indira Gandhi. Since 2004, the Brijuni Islands have hosted the International Polo Tournament. These places are also interesting because more than two hundred dinosaur tracks were found here, presumably from the Cretaceous period.

Interesting places

The Brijuni Islands have several archaeological sites worth seeing. In particular, this is the Church of St. Mary, built according to the project of the Templars back in the 13th century, as well as two ancient Roman villas dating back to the second century, and a massive Venetian fortification. Here are the ruins of a Byzantine palace, as well as a monument to Robert Koch and the fight against malaria in Brijuni.

On the territory of the archipelago there is an archaeological museum, the exposition of which is located in a fortification built by the Venetians, as well as the Gothic Church of St. Herman, built in the 15th century, where you can see copies of ancient frescoes of Istria. In the Brijuni Safari Park, you can get to know the world of wild animals and see its representatives such as fallow deer, mouflon, sika deer, zebras, sheep, Indian elephants, camels and llamas.

Useful information

You can get to the Brijuni islands by ferry, which departs from the International Port of Pula, as well as by suburban bus number 21 to the village of Fažana, and from there - by boat. A tour of the islands usually takes about four hours, after which there is an opportunity to swim in the sea and relax on the beach. For a longer stay, you can rent a room in one of the archipelago's hotels.

To the north of Pula lies Brioni (Brioni in Italian), a small archipelago of fourteen islets that once served as Tito's personal residence. The area was then declared a national park and opened to tourists in 1983. Visitors are still allowed on only two islands: Veli Brijuni and Mali Brijuni, and under strict control. You can visit the archipelago as part of a tourist group - a tourist train goes to the island of Veli Brijuni - or in one of the expensive hotels on Veli Brijuni. In the latter case, you can freely walk around part of the island on your own, without a guide.

Most visitors arrive at the archipelago through the small fishing town of Fažana, which is 8 kilometers northwest of Pula. From the city you can get there by bus number 18. The office of the Brijuni National Park is located on the main port square of Fažany (July and August daily 8: 00-22: 00, June and September daily 8: 00-20: 00; from October to April Monday -Saturday 8: 00-15: 00).

The office sells tickets for day trips to the largest island and organizes the delivery of travelers to hotels. Fažana Tourism Office (Riva 2; June-August daily 8: 00-22: 00; May-September Monday-Friday 8: 00-15: 00) provides information, maps and brochures, and the Stefani Trade Agency (Zupni trg 3; from mid-June to mid-September daily 8: 30-11: 00) rents private rooms and apartments on the mainland. The Tito festival is held in Fažana.

This comic event is timed to May 25, that is, to the official birthday of the leader. Within the framework of the festival, concerts of folk music, performances of brass bands and processions of local residents dressed in pioneer costumes take place. Tito in Istria is honored not so much for his participation in the creation of the Yugoslav state, as for the fact that he brought the peninsula out of power.

How to get to the Brijuni Islands

From May to mid-October, there are about eight excursions from Fažana every day. In the rest of the months, with the exception of January, there is one per day. The guides are closed in January. The walk takes 4 hours. Prices depend on the season: in July and August - 180 HRK, in June and September - 170 HRK, in April, May and October - 150 HRK, and in February, March, November and December - 100 HRK. Tickets are sold at the office of the Brijuni National Park on the Fažana embankment. If you are staying in Istria, in a hotel for tourist groups, then for a trip to Brijuni you will pay about 250 HRK.

This amount includes the cost of excursion services, travel expenses, and sometimes the price of lunch. They also conduct boat excursions to Brijuni (a ticket costs about 200-250 kuna), however, within the framework of such a trip, the route for visiting the national park is reduced. If you want to stay on the islands, you should keep in mind that prices in local hotels are deliberately overpriced in order to maintain the aura of “exclusivity”. Neptun-Istra is a standard three-star hotel. Rooms with TV, minibar and bathroom. Hotel Karmen is slightly better, but in general it offers almost the same.

If you really want luxury, then rent one of the stylish antique villas. They can be booked through the National Park office in Fažana. The villas are located on the beach, in secluded areas on the south side of Veli Brijuni. Primorka (1200/8800 kuna per day) is designed for eight people, Dubravka (600/4400 kuna per day) - for four, and Lovorka (600/4400 kuna per day) - for five. The most aristocratic of these villas is Lovorka. In the period between the two wars, the Duke of Spoleto loved to relax and play polo here.

If you are staying on the island, it is convenient to get around by renting a golf cart (500 kuna / 5 hours) or a bicycle (100 kuna per day) from the sports center next to the Neptun-Istra hotel. To the north of the hotels is a 22-hole golf course. It is eco-friendly to minimize watering and pesticide treatments. Reindeer eat up the grass, so the lawn hardly needs to be mowed. You can pay for the use of the playground and rent equipment at the sports center. The island has café-restaurants Neptun-Istra and Karmen.

Veli Brijuni island in Croatia

A tourist boat from Fažana crosses the Gulf of Brion in fifteen minutes and arrives at the Kupelweiser hotel complex on the east coast of Veli Brijuni. From there, a miniature train with a guide heads north to the safari park, which is located at the northern tip of the island. In this park, Tito settled exotic animals, which were presented to him by the leaders of other countries. The elephants Sonny and Lanka, donated by Indira Gandhi in 1975, are still happy to pose for photographers. You can also see zebras, antelopes and native longhorn cows (boskarin) brought from the hinterland.

The train then continues along the west coast of the island to White Villa and other official residences, including Villa Jadranka, where Queen Elizabeth II and Gina Lollobrigida were guests. The train stops at the southwest corner of the island for passengers to explore the ruins of a Byzantine fortress. Its dark gray walls contrast sharply with the surrounding green paradise it was built to protect. The train then returns to the hotel complex, passing the remains of a 1st century Roman villa in Veriga Bay.

At the end of the tour, before returning to the mainland, sightseers can visit several more locals located near the hotel complex. The most important of them is the 15th century Gothic church, restored by Kupelweiser before the First World War and inaugurated by Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Nearby, in the exhibition hall, the exposition "Tito na Brijunima" ("Tito na Brijunima"; in July and August, daily 8: 00-20: 00; in June and September, daily 8: 00-19: 00; in May and October daily 8: 00-18: 00; for tourists arriving on the excursion by boat, admission is free).

On the ground floor, there are stuffed animals donated to the Yugoslav leader by high-ranking foreign guests. Animals were stuffed after death. Particularly touching are the four seven-week-old giraffes that died from salmonellosis shortly after arriving from Africa. On the second floor, there is a wonderful exhibition of photographic documents that reveal Tito's personality from various angles. One photo shows the Yugoslavian leader talking with the fishermen Fažana, and the next one shows him exchanging jokes with his guest artists: Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Richard Burton played the role of Tito in the epic war film Sutjeska (1970). Pay attention to the funny photo where Tito drives Ho Chi Minh on a motor boat. For some reason, both leaders put on their vulgar panamas, and the expression on the face of the Vietnamese leader shows that he likes what is happening much less than the marshal himself. Opposite the exhibition building, on the lawn, there is an aviary that serves as a "summer apartment" for one of Tito's favorite pets, the white parrot Koki. Koki still likes to repeat the banal phrases that his owner taught him. It is strange to think that the voice of the Yugoslavian leader still lives in the beak of a feathered pet.

Brijuni Archipelago It was once a place of exile, then it turned into an aristocratic resort, and during the time of Broz Tito it became a national park. These are tiny islands with beautiful green forests inhabited by wild animals, picturesque meadows, Omsk ruins, and around the blue of the Adriatic Sea.
Briony is an archipelago of 2 islands and 12 islets with an area of ​​only 42 sq. km lies 3 km west of the Istrian peninsula. These Croatian islands are composed of white limestone with strikingly fertile soil and red clay. The shores of the islands are indented, and the surrounding waters are a protected area rich in sponges and crustaceans, as well as all kinds of fish and even turtles and dolphins.

Great Brion and Mali Brion have been inhabited since prehistoric times, here are preserved monuments from Roman and Byzantine times. For centuries, the islanders have suffered from pirate raids and wars, but it was the malaria epidemic that almost completely survived the population. In 1893, the Austrian industrialist Paul Kupelweiser acquired the islands in order to turn them into a resting place for the European nobility. He drained the stinking swamps inhabited by mosquitoes, brought in exotic tropical plants and thinned out the thickets of Velika Brion, making the territory a park area. After World War II, Marshal Tito expropriated the islands. He built a safari park here and made it clear to the arriving guests that he expects from them gifts - animals for his collection. This is how zebras, camels, elephants, ostriches and deer appeared here, which still freely roam the islands.

With a curious history, striking surroundings and exotic wildlife, this is the most unusual and romantic destination on the Horzat Coast not to be missed.
