Discover the real Istria: Book your holiday to Marčana

Are you looking for the perfect balance between peace, culture and the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea? A holiday to Marčana offers it all. This charming and authentic village lies in the southeast of the Croatian peninsula Istria. Away from mass tourism, but yet close to bustling coastal cities such as Pula, Medulin, Fazana and the picturesque Rovinj. Whether you choose a relaxing family holiday in Marčana, an active holiday full of culture, or a romantic trip with the two of you; this region is the ideal base to discover sunny Croatia.

Last minute holiday to Marčana: Going cheap on holiday in Europe

Do you want to get away at the last moment for a bit without paying the top price? A last minute holiday to Marčana is the way to go cheap on holiday in Europe. Croatia is known for its excellent price-quality ratio. Both the food in the local konobas (traditional restaurants) and the accommodations are still very affordable here. By choosing a stay just outside the busiest tourist hotspots, you enjoy a cheap sun holiday in Croatia with all the luxury and comfort that you wish for.

What to do in Marčana and surroundings?

Although Marčana radiates peace, there is an awful lot to experience in the immediate surroundings. The region lends itself perfectly to various day trips and activities:

  • Visit the hidden bays: The coastline of the municipality Marčana is no less than 36 kilometers long. Visit the beautiful, quiet beaches of Duga Uvala or the idyllic bay of Krnica for a wonderful beach day.
  • Historic Pula: At only a fifteen minutes' drive lies Pula. Admire the world-famous Roman amphitheater, the Temple of Augustus and the cozy squares.
  • Nature Park Cape Kamenjak: A bit further south you find this breathtaking nature area. Perfect for a day of cliff diving, snorkeling or cycling along the rugged coastline.
  • Boat trip to the Brijuni islands: From the nearby Fazana you sail just like that to these beautiful national parks, where you can even find footprints of dinosaurs.

Frequently asked questions about a holiday to Marčana (FAQ)

Where lie the nearest beaches near Marčana?

Marčana itself lies a bit inland, but the municipality has a beautiful, pristine coastline of 36 kilometers. At only 10 to 15 minutes' drive you find the popular pebble beaches and sheltered bays of Duga Uvala and Kavran. Are you looking for a unique experience? Then visit the bay near Krnica (Luka Beach), where you can swim wonderfully quietly and snorkel near a photogenic shipwreck. The beaches here are more natural, quieter and less touristy than the sand beaches in the busier Medulin.

Is Marčana a good base to discover Istria?

Absolutely, that is exactly the strength of this location! Travelers choose specifically for a holiday in Marčana because it combines the peace of the Istrian countryside with a central location. Within 15 minutes you stand in the historic center or near the supermarkets of Pula. Also the cozy coastal town Fazana (departure point to the Brijuni islands) and the romantic Rovinj are excellently accessible for a day trip.

What is there to do in Marčana itself?

Marčana is an authentic, quiet agricultural village where you escape the mass. You find there the typical Istrian culture, old stone houses (kažuni) and excellent local konobas where you can eat cheaply and traditionally. For active holidaymakers there are beautiful walking and cycling paths (such as parts of the Camino South Istria route). Additionally you find nearby, in Loborika, a well-known equestrian center that is ideal for horse riding lesson or outdoor rides through nature.

Do I need a car during my stay in Marčana?

Yes, for a stay in Marčana a car (or rental car) is strongly recommended. Because the village is quietly located and the most beautiful bays, sights and larger supermarkets lie just outside the village, a car gives you the ultimate freedom. Many Dutch and Belgian tourists choose therefore also for a comfortable car holiday to Croatia to explore this region flexibly.

Why choose for a holiday home in Marčana instead of a hotel on the coast?

A holiday home in Marčana via Leisure Time offers you much more privacy, space and peace than the massive hotel resorts on the busy coastal strips. You simply get much more value for your money here. Many holiday homes in this region feature a large enclosed garden with a private pool. This makes it the perfect choice for a relaxing family holiday in Istria or a holiday with the dog, while the bustle of the city and the beach always remain within reach.
