Fažana is coastal town in the south-west of the Istrian peninsula, opposite the Brijuni islands. The town dates from the ancient Roman times when its name was Vasanium and was well-known for manufacturing amphorae, vases and tiles. The town port and squares are nowdays a beautiful stage hosting numerous cultural and music events that take places during the summer.Except being a fishermen village, Fažana has always been well known for its excellent wine and olive oil. Fish and meat gastronomic deliciousness, authentic dishes as well as quality wine offered by local restaurants can surely meet the requirements of any gourmand. Beautiful beaches, clear sea, Mediterranean climate and lush vegetation have contributed to the development of tourism in Fažana, Valbandon and Šurida whose inhabitants have always been known for their hospitality. Brijuni National Park is an oasis of the magnificent harmony between man, animal and plant life. There are almost 700 plant species and about 250 bird species on the islands, whereas the mild Mediterranean climate makes it a pleasant health resort. After leaving Fažana-Fasana, the line of green islands viewed from the boat, transforms into Veliki Brijun, the largest of the 14 islands. The traces of dinosaurs, remains of Antiquity and later periods, achievements of modern times are all present in this area, whose development as an exclusive resort starts in 1893 thanks to the “old Austrian”, the industrialist Paul Kupelwieser, owner of the Brijuni Islands
