Premantura

Premantura is a picturesque place with 450 residents, located in Istria`s far south, which was already settled during the Bronze age. The remains of rustic villas are evidence of the ancient Roman`s wise selection of Premantura as an ideal living space. A beautiful statue of Minerva was also found here, today stored in the Museum of Archaeology in Pula.

Premantura

The long, narrow penninsula of Kamenjak gives Premantura its most recognizable characteristic. This peninsula is 9,5 km long and as wide as 1,5 km and stretches into the Adriatic Sea like a long arm. Kamenjak encircles a 30 km coast line dotted with numerous inlets and miniature beaches and this primeval beauty is augmented by small islands which arise from the crystalline blue-green sea.

In Premantura there are several well- stocked stores, a bank, a medical clinic and a souvenir shop. The restaurants have made Premantura famous as a place of rich tables set with fish and other seafood specialties. Of the numerous tourist and popular celebrations, we particularly recommended two: The Crab Festival on May 1, and the most important festival, Lovrecevo, on August 10, which is the feast of St.Lawrence, the patron saint of Premantura.
