Pula
Pula is the largest town on the west coast of Istria, and it is especially interesting because of its deeply indented coastline with many islands and peninsulas. We have already mentioned Brijuni National Park and Kamenjak Nature Park. The beaches are beautiful and varied. Punta Verudela offers rocky and pebble beaches with crystal-clear water, as well as rocks for jumping overlooking the open sea. On the way to Fažana, the beaches are pebbly and protected from the open sea by the Brijuni archipelago. The beach in Medulin is sandy. Among the many historical attractions, the monumental Roman amphitheatre is especially worth mentioning. It once held up to 23,000 people, which is about 46% of today’s population of Pula. Pula is also the only town in Istria with an airport.

If you are arriving at the port by car, the nearest parking area is Karolina (Trg Nimfeja bb, 52100, Pula), located between the Arena (Pula Amphitheatre) and the sea, next to Valerijin Park on the southwest side. It is close to the port centre. Unfortunately, parking there costs €4 per hour, and payment is made on departure. There is no daily ticket available.
The Riva 1 and Riva 2 car parks are within 350 m of the port, and parking costs €1.30 per hour or €19.50 per day. Mandrač parking is the most affordable, with a daily parking ticket for a car costing €6.60. It is 1,200 m from the port. All of the parking areas mentioned are under video surveillance, but you should still avoid leaving documents, bags or money visible inside the car.
