Pula (Croatia)

...my sailing trip this year, Pula was our last port of call. A beautiful city with much to do, the visit was much appreciated by everyone who went with me. Pula, the largest city in the Istrian peninsula, has been in existence for almost three thousand years. As well as making it one of the oldest cities in Croatia, its long life is the main reason why the city boasts such a rich and diverse range of historical and cultural attractions. The Roman ...
...Pula special importance and boosted the growth of the city. The influence of the Romans was probably the most important influence in the city's history, and this can be seen in its wide range of attractions. The major attraction of the city is its amphitheatre. Situated right outside Pula's harbour, it is one of the six largest amphitheatres in existence today, although less well preserved than its counterpart in Rome. The structure is well worth ...

Review of Pula (Croatia)

>Pola is a stupendous town to the borders between Croazia and Clovenia! To be precise it is in Croazia but people of the place prefer to define thmselves like ISTRIANI. So in this that once was an Italian province you can find a clear and clean sea and an extraordinary hospitality. >To Fasana to 5 kilometers from Pola there is a stupendous camping-village called Bi-Village where my wife and I have spent 10 maravillous days! For 100 Euros per day ...
...days in a suite with sight on the sea and private minigarden. Then for other 6 days we preferred a mini floor foe 65 Euros without breakfast but with an accessoriated cooking (only tha pasta strainer was missing, there was also a moka of the Bialetti) and the weeklychange of sheets! Broom and mocio were also present as the clothes line winth a large balcony on which to take the coolness of the evening. Was also foreseen the conditioned air for me ...

Review of Pula (Croatia)

...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 ...
...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. ...

Review of Pula (Croatia)

...You will easily locate Pula on the map. Young James Joyce taught English, in the naval base of the Austro- Hungarian Monarchy in 1904-1905. Also Jules Verne who actually glorified Pula in his novel "Mathias Sandorf". Verne must have been inspired by travel stories and old graveness of Roman town life in the Adriatic. Also, poet Dante Aligheri or Thomas Man. The old tale about Argonauts describes a pursuit of a boat Argo and a stolen Golden Fleece. ...
...the place called Poula, Pula. Pula is a biggest town in Istria. Ancient time geographer Strabo, affirms that Pula was founded about 3 000 years ago. Still, most fascinating witness, from old times, must be the great amphitheater of Pula. This magnificent architecture building has just enough windows, to frame a magnificent voyage of time. This is actually 6th largest Roman Empire amphitheater in the world. The memories of Pula amphitheater are definitely ...
