PREMANTURA AND NATURAL PARK OF RT KAMENJAK

Premantura is a picturesque village with 450 residents located in Istra's far south which was already settled during the Bronze Age. The remains of rustic villas are evidence of the ancient Romans' wise choice of Premantura as an ideal setting. A beautiful statue of Minerva was found here; today kept in the Archaeological Museum in Pula.
The long, narrow peninsula of Kamenjak gives Premantura its most recognizable characteristic. This peninsula is around 10 km long and 1.5 km wide. The peninsula stretches into the Adriatic Sea like a long arm.
Kamenjak is encompassed by a 30 km coastline dotted with numerous coves and small beaches, and this primeval beauty is enriched with small islands which rise from the crystalline blue-green sea.
In Premantura there are several well-stocked stores, bank and souvenir shops. The restaurants have made Premantura famous as a place of rich tables set with fish and other seafood specialities.
Of the numerous touristic and popular celebrations we particularly recommend two: The Crab Festival on May 1 and the festival of Lovrecevo on August 10 that is the feast of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of Premantura
