Banjole: A Seaside Haven for Foodies, Adventurers, and Relaxation Seekers
Â
Nestled by the sea, Banjole has a rich history deeply intertwined with fishing. This tradition lives on today, making it home to some of the finest seafood restaurants. While it’s true that fishermen craft the best seafood dishes, you too can create your own culinary masterpiece. Simply head to the small harbor at dawn, watch the fishermen return with their fresh catch, and take your pick. Staying with a local fisherman? You might even get the chance to join them for an unforgettable adventure at sea.
Tourism is the heartbeat of this charming town, with nearly all 1,000 residents involved in welcoming visitors. Accommodation options range from cozy private apartments to family-owned campsites for up to 30 guests. For those seeking a larger experience, there’s a spacious seaside campsite nestled among pine trees, offering an array of sports and entertainment activities.
Sports enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy, including a grass football field and four tennis courts. Beyond leisure, Banjole boasts year-round amenities such as a private kindergarten, shops, a gas station, and even a car wash. For healthcare, two private doctors’ offices – specializing in neurology and ophthalmology – are available to residents and visitors alike.
Whether you’re a foodie, an adventurer, or simply looking for a serene escape, Banjole offers a little something for everyone.

Beach Cape Kamenjak - Premantura
At the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula lies Cape Kamenjak, a protected park brimming with natural beauty. Stretching over 30 kilometers of coastline, it boasts numerous bays, islets, and pristine beaches.

Kamenjak is also renowned as a diving hotspot, thanks to its rich underwater world. Swimmers should take caution in the southern part due to strong currents, but these same conditions create a haven for surfers.
On the southwestern edge of the cape, you’ll find the iconic Safari Bar, a perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing drink or a light meal amidst this stunning natural setting.
