House – dreams – memories, national park brijuni.

National park Brijuni is one of the eight national parks in Croatia. I still remember the day when my parents took me there. Although I was a kid, it was unbelievable to me that one second I was swimming in the sea, and the next one I was on safari. This is what Brijuni is actually about, safari on the island. They are consisting of 14 small islands of the total size of a bit less than 34 m2. The name of the biggest island is, surprisingly, Veliki (Big) Brijun.

Location of national park Brijuni

You are in luck as to Brijuni you come by boat from Fazana which is next to Galizana . With a bit of luck in finding a well-suited parking place, you can be in the line for the boat in less than 15 minutes. Once in Fazana, it will take you around 20 minutes by boat and you will find yourself on Veliki Brijun.

Map of Brijuni

A bit of history

According to many sources, Brijuni has quite a rich history. Believe it or not, on Brijuni you can find many dinosaur footsteps, more than 200 to be precise. The first signs of human presence go all the way down to 3rd century BC. In the 1st century BC, islands were inhabited by the Illyrian tribes Histri, hence the name of the whole peninsula Istria. Afterward, the Roman empire came, as well as Byzantine. There are many relics from that time which you can also visit. Josip Broz Tito, the famous Yugoslavian president had his summer residence on this beautiful island. No wonder why many world leaders and show biz stars used to visit him there. Sophia Loren was his regular guest, and I wonder if his wife Jovanka was at least a bit jealous.

Brijuni heritage

Brijuni, a heaven on earth

As mentioned in the beginning, if you would like to have safari experience in the middle of Europe, Brijuni is the place. Many wild animals wander around freely. Besides many local species like sheep, Istrian ox, or donkeys, you can even find more exotic ones. The most famous is an elephant that Tito received as a present from Indira Gandhi. As a kid, I remember many zebras, that my brother and I used to call horses in pajamas. There are more than 700 plants and 250 bird species registered. Here you can even find the oldest Olive tree in Croatia, older more than 1600 years. Amazing is the fact that it still gives enough olives to produce oil. Due to all these reasons, Brijuni became a national park in 1983.

Brijuni safari

National park Brijuni today

The highlight of the visit is definitely a safari park and taking tours on a small open train. There is also enough heritage to keep you busy for the rest of the day. Perhaps you would like to play golf with a sea view? What I also like is open theater during the warm summer evenings. Plays are organized by a famous Hollywood actor, Rade Serbedzija . There are also special boat trips especially organized for those plays that will take you back after the show. Istria has many beauties and Brijuni are for sure one of them, so make sure to plan one of your vacation days to visit them.

It is very difficult to choose which island to visit in Croatia – in the land where there are over a thousand of them, each one is unique in its own way and has its own special charm. So, if you’d ask locals which island to visit, the answers would differ for sure. However, at the mention of Brijuni Islands, everyone will sigh, either with nostalgia or admiration as they are known not only for their incredible natural beauty but are also of great significance for the country’s history as well as the history of the world.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

Turned into a presidential residency by the Yugoslavian President Josip Broz Tito after World War II, the islands were known as “the islands of peace” and the “meeting point of the Non-Aligned” with president Tito spending about four months per year on the largest of the islands, Veli Brijun. Running the country’s as well as the world’s politics, he hosted to world leaders, political elite and monarchs, from Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of Egypt and Fidel Castro to Queen Elizabeth II as well as many world renowned artists and actors such as Sofia Loren.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

Situated along the coast of the western Istria in Croatia, just across from the town Fažana, the island group of Brijuni consists of 14 islands and islets that spread out in the clear, blue Adriatic Sea. The largest islands of the group are Veliki and Mali Brijun which perfectly represent the beauty of cultivated nature that people created for enjoyment. In addition, the now national park has ideal, mild Mediterranean climate which make it a beautiful surrounding and perfect place to be for the most part of the year. No wonder the islands were always a top pick for those who could afford to visit, even from the time of ancient Rome.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

When visiting Brijuni, most people go to the island Veliki Brijun which is just 2 km off the coast. Once you get to the island, you will realize just why it was and still is the most beloved resort of the high society – in the pristine nature, everything on this island is maintained, looking well-groomed and just designed for the people to enjoy, in perfect harmony with the flora and fauna of the island.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

Once there, whether you came just for a day or you are staying a bit longer, the most beautiful way to get around is by bike, which you can easily rent. If you don’t feel like pedalling, you can always rent golf carts but there are also cute tourist trains driving around the island covering the main points of interest – both of historical and natural significance and beauty. Make sure to take a stroll through the Mediterranean garden, a home of over 160 different autochthonous and exotic plants which are carefully labelled and have a QR code that makes it easier for you to learn more about the beautiful plants that add to the special scents of the island.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

One of the reasons why many people visit the island is its many animals which roam around freely such as deer, rabbits and peacocks which you also see running across the greenery and sometimes even making themselves comfortable in the middle of the golf field. However, the animals of the Safari Park get the most attention, the vast area at the northern part of the island is inhabited by an interesting mix of autochthonous Istrian and exotic animals from South America, Africa and Asia.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

You will pass by the zebras and llamas in the meadows as well as Istrian ox, boškarin , and Istrian sheep and donkeys. Still one of the most famous inhabitants of the Safari Park is the Indian elephant Lanka that Tito received as a present from Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1972.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

The second most famous animal is definitely Koki, the cockatoo, that was Tito’s gift to his granddaughter Aleksandra. Koki is a living legend at the island, being a rare kind of yellow-crested cockatoo that live up to 100 years and who speaks to the visitors, sometimes even wanting to shake their hand.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

Going around the island will be like traveling through time and going through centuries – you will pass alongside the ruins that go back all the way to the Roman Empire and remained during the Carolingian period and Venetian times. One of the most interesting ones is definitely the Byzantine castrum. Stop by the information panels and learn more about the Roman villas that once stood there, imagine what life was like centuries ago and take a swim with the view of the remains, sensing all the history surrounding you.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

Go even further back in time, discovering one of the many dinosaurs’ footsteps in stone, left by the oldest inhabitants of the area over 100 million years ago when they were roaming around freely in what is now the Brijuni National Park.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

And though there are many remains from ancient times that remind us how Brijuni were inhabited a long time ago, the most interesting era that defined the look of the islands that is still present today was not so long ago – the president of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, really gave the special mark to the island and made it world famous.

safari park brijuni rezensionen

Though some of the villas that were used for state purposes are still closed to the public, you can visit a few and see where all the statesmen, monarchs and celebrities were spending time with Tito. A good way to experience it is also to visit the museum where you can see some of the artefacts brought to the president of Yugoslavia as gifts, learn about his work and life and see a vast number of photographs from this era, witnessing what a special time in history it was.

Additional info : Since Brijuni islands are very close to Pula and Fažana those islands are easily approachable from both places (Pula has an airport as well). Getting to Fažana is very easy using local bus from Pula. And from Fažana boat ride is 20 minutes and you are there, on the Veliki brijun island.
