Staying in Medulin

Medulin sits about 10 kilometres south of Pula and is best known for its beaches, above all the shallow sandy water of Bijeca Beach, and for the Roman archaeological site of Vižula. It is a popular spot for sports and recreation, and the centre and waterfront hold restaurants and shops within walking distance of the main beach and harbour.

The homes on this list sit in and around that centre and along the coast nearby: addresses name Regi, Mukalba, Volme, Munida and Liznjanska Cesta close to town, with others further out at Pomer, Vrčevan, Selo, Dracice and Indije. Several are within 0.3 to 1.3 kilometres of the centre, while the furthest listed are around 5 to 6 kilometres away. The mix of private pools, saunas, gardens and family facilities suits couples, families and groups on a short break who want space and their own kitchen, and a car or bicycle helps for the outlying ones.
