Pula Port Ferry Overview
Pula is the largest city in Istria County, Croatia, situated at the southern tip of the Istria peninsula. Like the rest of the region, it is known for its mild climate, tame sea, and unspoiled nature. The city has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism. Pula has also been Istria's administrative center since ancient Roman times.
The city lies on and beneath seven hills on the inner part of a wide gulf and a naturally well-protected port open to the northwest with two entrances: from the sea and through Fažana channel. The city is best known for its many surviving ancient Roman buildings, the most famous of which is its first century amphitheatre, sixth largest in the world and locally known as the Arena. This is one of the best preserved amphitheatres from antiquity and is still in use today during summer film festivals.
Passenger ferries operate from the port area to nearby islands as well as the Venezia Lines service to Venice in Italy which you can book online at Ferryprice.com. |
