A few easy kilometres down from Pula is Istria’s southernmost point; a craggy headland with a constellation of little islands offshore.
The scenery has a kind of stark beauty to it, with bare cliffs and otherworldly rock formations used by youngsters to dive into the Adriatic’s smooth, clear waters.
The best beaches are on the west side of the cape, which has a long sequence of shingle coves or rocky terraces that lead down to the water, like the sides of the world’s best swimming pool!
