Pula is the largest city on the Istrian peninsula and is known for its large number of Roman buildings and ruins.
In summer, another great attraction are the beaches of the Adriatic Sea.
One of its biggest attractions is the Roman Amphitheater, (like the Colosseum in Rome) which was built with the aim of hosting fights.
The city has a great tourist structure, lots of commerce like shops, bars and restaurants. Other attractions are the Triumphal Arch of Sergi and the Temple of Augustus.
It is a tourist spot for Europeans in the summer.
We spent the day getting to know the center and its attractions.
The other day we went to visit other beaches, one of the most frequented and that of Ambrela is a gravel beach, shallow waters, with a complete range of beach services, high safety index and water quality standard.
Surrounded by century-old trees, clean sea and very cozy located in the Bay of St. John.
We found a spot in the shade of a tree and enjoyed the beach.
To enter the water it is always good to be tired, as there are many stones.
Walking we arrive at Brioni beach, where the edge of the beach is made of concrete and there is only a narrow strip of small and round stones, but the water is super crystal clear.
After lunch we stayed in the shadows of the trees enjoying a swim with the little fish.
Way to Plitvice Lakes Park
We got up, had breakfast and at 10 am we left towards Plitvice lakes and on the way we had the plan to stop and get to know the city of Rijeka.
When we arrived we found the city very ugly and with a very intense traffic, we tried to find a place to park and we only managed far from the center.
But when we parked, the weather was starting to rain and we decided to go to a mall for lunch. It was our luck because there was a storm.
We began to see how empty Croatia is, as we passed through many places where nobody was seen.
We got close to the park and went to the apartment and rested, because the day was long ..

Today, these are the most complete tools on the market
Book your accommodation.
With that in mind, it’s time to choose your accommodation.
The best tool is Booking.com.
For those who are going to use hostels, the best tool is Hostelworld.
I have used both very often and always find the best prices.
Get your insurance
Insurance is something we never want to use, but it is traumatic if we need it and don’t have it.
It will cover the costs of any eventuality of illness, injury, theft and/or cancellations of tickets, hotels, etc.
I have used WorldNomads or Assistcard, which always have the insurance with the coverage that travelers need, in addition to having coverage worldwide.
