travel and tourism in croatia

Umag, a town and a port in the north-west coast of Istria, is a kind of exit and entrance of Croatia to Europe. This famous business and tourist center is at only 40 km from Trieste, 150 from Ljubljana, and 50 NM from Venice.
Development of Umag is best evidenced by the world famous ATP tour, a tennis tournament taking place right here every year. In terms of tourism, the hinterland of Umag is very attractive although it is a still undiscovered location between two Istrian rivers, namely the Dragonja and the Mirna surrounded by the rivieras of Savudria and Umag, and that of Novigrad. Sunbathed beaches and luxurious hotels are only part of the offer. Alternative programs offer a variety of activities to make your stay rich in attractions.
Umag is made even more attractive by the old town citadel surrounded by the remains of towered walls from the fourteenth century, by the baroque church of St. Mary from the eighteenth century, by the narrow streets and stores which rays of sun penetrate in the late afternoon hours, creating unusual frescoes from light and shadow on the old facades.

Thanks to its natural location and the great enthusiasm of the tourist and sports employees, this town offers a colorful palette of sports activities on both sea and land.
Excursions can be organized to the Lim fyord, a unique geomorphic phenomena (famous for its exceptional oysters) as well as to the interior of Istria, to the small, picturesque towns of Momjan, Motovun, Buzet, Grožnjan and others which seem to have been frozen in the last century.
