Roman Villa in Verige Bay

This villa is located on the western coast of Brijuni, along Verige Bay, and dates from the 1st century. It consisted of several buildings in different parts of the bay, used for various purposes. The parts of the villa were used until the 6th century. From the seaside this complex was bordered by the shore built of large stone blocks. Today they are about 1 m below sea level.

I have been to this national park few times before on a half day tours. This time I decided to stay at the hotel and it was a good decision because island looks different when the tourist groups are gone. It is peaceful in the evening, so do not be surprised if you see rabbits or does on the meadow close to the hotel. The staff on the island was very friendly and helpful, especially Danijela that works on the information desk. She was so enthusiastic to give us additional details and we really enjoyed talking to her. And one more thing - rent a golf car for perfect visit of the whole island.

Koch's trail

Forester and planner of all Brijuni promenades, designed small hills by clearing the old stone quarries that accumulated over the years (ever since classical times). That is how promenades appeared; they are protected from summer heat and sheltered from cold winds. They became popular places for guests of the health resort.
