Holidays to Medulin blend charming village character and well-preserved ruins with a wide, beach-lined bay and buzzing nightlife.
History and attractions
Medulin began as a small fishing village on the Istrian coast in Croatia. It's still got a lot of its traditional charm, but now that's mixed in with vibrant bars and snazzy eateries. Stroll along the waterfront promenade or admire well-preserved Roman ruins before ordering up a summer spritz and a platter of steamed mussels.
Breezy beaches
Skrape and Belvedere are popular sunbathing spots with the locals, so rent a sunlounger if you're keen for a shady siesta. Bijeca's the real star of these shores, though – this kilometre-long stretch of sand has clear waters and a gentle slope, making it ideal for families with little ones.
Daytrip to Pula
The bus from Medulin will take you to Pula in about 40 minutes. This city's home to lots of ancient Roman ruins, including the famous Pula Arena. The spot dates back to 68 AD, and it's now used as a seriously epic concert venue. Summer line-ups in this former gladiator ring range from cultural plays and classical music to electronic music festivals.
