This is the third time Ive been to pula so Im becoming a bit of an expert! Its in Istria which is part of croatia, its in the south of croatia. we drove ther from italy and crossed a bit of slovenia to get there. Major traffic. If you are going from england, you can fly with ryanair from london stanstead. Im not sure if you can fly from other airports. I was surprised I didnt meet any english people there in 2 weeks!! Predominantly tourists are Italian, followed by french and german in equal measure. The first time we went stayed in pula. Now pula is like a mini rome it has its own ampitheatre and arena and the square is similar to piazza navona in rome. Its ancient with very beautiful buildings. Its not very big so you can walk around it easily in a couple of hours.
My main advice is to be careful when eating there. Lots of restaurants are extensions of peoples homes and they will try and con you. Always check your bill!! The bigger restaurants are more honest. Avoid eating fish there, its expensive and not so fresh. If you are a fish lover like me then you must go to the restaurant miramare which is in a little fishingvillage near pula called banjole ,which is where we stayed the second time we went to croatia. This restaurant has wonderful food and is cheap too. The sea in this part of croatia is special, clean and not too cold. there are few sandy beaches and lots of rocks so take some good shoes.
croatia is becoming more and more popular and Ive noticed more and more tourists and higher prices. go soon before tourism takes its toll. avoid hotels they are very expensive and rent a house. you can get some great deals. I recommend in staying in banjole its a short drive from pula and less chaotic. Croatia is still one of my favourite destinations and pula is worth visiting. Try not to go in august as that is the busiest month.
Good review but could do with some more info to gain higher ratings. Take a look at other reviews to get an idea of the level of info that is needed to gain higher ratings. ~ Em. x

Thanks for the review, Croatia does look beautiful. care should be taken everywhere with restaurant Bills. We brits are suckers for tipping even when Service has been included at 15 or 20%. In poland you must not say THANK YOU when handing over payment if you expect change, the THANK YOU is taken as KEEP THE CHANGE. Regards Steve.

It sounds a lovely place to visit. I agree with below, a clearer structure, a spellcheck and a little bit more background information would take this review from an h to to vh

Advantages: many things to explore & very cultural and romantic place to see Disadvantages: camps and youth hostel is the only place to stay cheaper & not cheapest place in the world
