the sea, with indescribable peace and quiet, and they will lead you to the many attractions on the island. The safari park, the olive tree that is more than 1600 years old, the castrum archeological site, the dinosaur footprint, the Roman villa in Verige Bay, the Church of St. Mary, the Mediterranean garden, the Path of Good Vibrations, the boathouse, and Kupelweiser's resting place are the top ten places to see on the island. If you would like to explore the island in an even easier way, rent an electric vehicle or scooter, or you can also tour the island with the tour train. You will become aware of the fact that the island is an endless source of new experiences during your entire stay there. Have you ever played golf in the presence of deer, mouflon, rabbits, or peacocks? Or played a match of tennis in the shade of centuries-old pine trees? Dive into the magical underwater world, tour the underwater educational trail, head out on a kayak tour accompanied by a guide to the island of Mali Brijun, and in the warm summer evenings don't miss out on a performance by the popular Ulysses theater...

The Brijuni islands, an archipelago with two large islands and twelve islets, immersed like pearls in the crystal-clear sea off the west coast of Istria (the largest Croatian peninsula) were proclaimed a national park precisely 40 years ago. This year, the park's important anniversary is being celebrated with a series of activities, including Walk&Talk walking tours aimed at domestic tourists. They will be held on weekends in June and will take you through the history of Brijuni, next to viewpoints, through the underwater world, down educational trails... The heavenly landscape of the once fashionable gathering ground for aristocracy will entice you to be active. Explore Veliki Brijun, the largest and mostvisited island of the Brijuni, on long walks or, even better, by bike (which you can rent there). The paved trails guarantee you will have a relaxing ride, infused with the aroma of centuries-old pines and
