Travel guide Premantura
Easy and quick access to your holiday apartment and holiday home in Premantura
If you want to drive to your holiday apartment or holiday home on the Istrian peninsula in
Croatia with your own car, there are highways available in the interior of the country. The distance from Munich is 614 km, so it takes about 6.5 hours from there to reach your accommodation on the peninsula in good traffic conditions. It's even easier and faster by plane. Flights to Pula on the Istrian peninsula
Istria can be booked from all German airports. The city of Pula is only 12 km away from your accommodation in Premantura. You can reach it from the airport by a rented car or by a bus that departs daily from the airport.
Premantura captivates with its mild climate
Premantura, the southernmost town of Istria, captivates with its consistently warm climate, which allows you to enjoy the wonderfully warm seawater of Istria in one of the natural bays until late autumn. Scientists attribute this to the favorable winds that bring consistently warm breezes and warm water currents. This southern tip of Istria is ideal for a holiday in the winter months. In January, the coldest month of the year, the average temperature is 6.2 °C, and April already has 11 °C, while May can expect 16 °C. These are ideal weather conditions for hiking, cycling, or other sports activities such as horse riding.
A place full of small and big surprises
The former fishing village of Premantura is a top destination on the Riviera of
Medulin for those seeking relaxation and a quiet holiday in beautiful nature. Historians believe that the town was already inhabited in ancient times. Today, the town in the south of Istria captivates with its natural beaches, bays, and forests. South of Premantura, the Cape Kamenjak stretches, a more than 9 km long and 1.5 km wide peninsula and the largest natural attraction of the Riviera. Surrounded by turquoise blue, crystal-clear water, your affordable holiday apartment or holiday home is located in the middle of the Cape Kamenjak Nature Park, which is a unique biosphere reserve with 530 different plant species. There are only a few places in Europe as original as the surroundings of Premantura. The small island of Pomer directly off the coast of Premantura is something for adventurers like Robinson Crusoe, as there is a lonely lighthouse that can be rented during the summer months. A memorable sight of a special kind are the torch jumps in the southern part of the cape. Here, brave locals jump from the high cliffs into the sea at night, holding a burning torch in their hands. Don't miss the Church of St. Lawrence from the early 17th century, which is located in the center of the town. Also interesting are the prehistoric finds found nearby. These are dinosaur bones and petrified dinosaur footprints.
Premantura: good for relaxation and variety
Although Premantura is a quiet, relaxing place, it still has a number of interesting cultural events that focus on gentle tourism. This includes, for example, Hallowind - an international meeting of windsurfers held in November. In early August, you can look forward to an exciting arts and crafts fair. And right after that, the Lovrečevo Festival is celebrated in Premantura in honor of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of the town. In the months of July to September, the Premantura Open Air takes place with numerous concerts and performances by various artists.
Istria: The land of gourmets
As a former fishing village, Premantura has a long tradition in which the sea and its culinary treasures play a significant role. Try the fish stew, called Brodetto, in one of the local restaurants, Konobas, or bars near your affordable holiday home or apartment. The local cuisine also offers such delicious dishes as black risotto with squid or crab salad. But meat gourmets also get their money's worth in Istria. First and foremost is the Istrian prosciutto, which is famous far beyond the national borders and can easily compete with the one from Parma. If you love pasta dishes, you will be happy in Istria. Be sure to try the veal ragout with Fuži and pasta with the king of mushrooms, the truffle, for which Istria is highly regarded by gourmets. Wine connoisseurs have also long discovered Istria and enjoy many fine drops at regional wineries. Also near your holiday apartment or holiday home in Premantura, you have the best opportunities to taste fine wines, such as at the Trapan winery, which is located north of Medulin.
