Pula before you cast off
The amphitheatre is the sixth-largest surviving Roman arena and stands right on the harbour; the temple of Augustus and the triumphal arch are in the old town behind it. The Brijuni national park is a boat trip from Fažana, or a first night’s anchorage for a charter. Rovinj, an hour north, is the prettiest town in Istria for a day before departure.
Supermarkets are close to both marinas and the city market is in the centre; Marina Veruda has a shop, restaurants and a fuel dock. Fuel in the city harbour is at the ACI marina.
