Fažana Riviera The southwest of the Istrian peninsula has for thousands of years boasted of the picturesque towns of the Fažana Riviera. The Roman villa in Valbandon, the narrow streets of Peroj, and the avenues and squares of Fažana become, in the summer months, a stage for fishermen's feasts, folklore and fashion shows featuring jewelry worn by ancient Romans. Croatia recognized this pearl of the Adriatic coast together with the rest of the world in 1983, when Brijuni were declared a National park. Historical treasure and Brijuni, an island paradise The Fažana channel was the site of many battles by the various nations which have left a part of their culture to the towns along the Fažana Riviera. Here one can find archeological sites predating even the Romans. The medieval charm of the churches of Saint Stephen and Saint Spyridon is undeniable, while the main attraction of the town of Peroj is a hackberry tree (locally known as ladonja, the tree of big shade), which has decorated the town square for centuries. Every July, visitors to Valbandon can enjoy the reenactment of the Fažana Riviera's Roman past, taste the food eaten in that period, and explore their creative side in the workshops of Roman mosaics, amphoras, or even try their hand at a culinary contest where food is made in a "čripnja" - a round dish meant for open-air cooking. Fažana is the starting point for excursions to the Brijuni archipelago, a national park filled with exotic vegetation, the habitat of endemic kine, sheep, donkeys, goats as well as numerous imported species, which can be seen running free on the glades of Brijuni. Fažana introduces you to the sardine, "small feeder, teacher of modesty" Silver, green and blue - the colors of a sardine's scales - have become the trademark of Fažana town. The long fishing tradition of this town has resulted in a Fishing academy, where all those enrolled learn to salt this staple of Adriatic cuisine. The Sardine park along the Fažana promenade brings together diverse artistic creations, and hosts numerous fish-themed public festivals. Sardine trails, wine trails and olive oil trails of the Fažana Riviera At the Sardine trail, visitors have a chance to try and learn how to prepare the eponymous fish in various diverse ways. The Istrian malvasia, made of an autochtonous variety of grape, can be sampled in the wine cellars of the Fažana Riviera. All along the Olive oil trail, you can enjoy the "divine elixir" which the Roman emperors considered the measure of perfection. Visitors to the Fažana Riviera, aside from the gorgeous beaches, have access to numerous biking trails, golf courses, a windsurfing school; the Brijuni national park is within hand's reach, and also in the neighborhood is Pula with its unmissable amphitheater, the Arena.

Poluotok Istra na svom se jugozapadnom dijelu, nasuprot veličanstvenih otoka Brijuni, tisućama godina diči pitoresknim gradićima Rivijere Fažana. Rimska vila u Valbandonu, uličice naselja Peroj, šetnice i trgovi luke Fažana ljeti se pretvaraju u pozornice za ribarske fešte, folklorne smotre i modne revije nakita iz rimskog doba. Hrvatska i svijet prepoznali su ovaj dragulj jadranske obale 1983. godine, kada su Brijuni proglašeni nacionalnim parkom. Fažanski kanal bio je kroz povijest poprište bitaka različitih kultura koje su dio svoje baštine ostavile mjestima Rivijere Fažana. Uz arheološka nalazišta iz vremena slavnog Rimskog carstva, pa i starija, te srednjovjekovni šarm kojim zrače crkve sv. Stjepana i sv. Spiridona, posebna atrakcija naselja Peroj je stablo ladonje koje stoljećima krasi gradski trg. Svakog srpnja u Valbandonu posjetitelji mogu uživati u prezentaciji rimske povijesti Rivijere Fažana, začinjenoj gastronomskom ponudom s "rimskog menija" te se prepustiti kreativnoj strasti u radionicama rimskih mozaika i replika amfora ili kuharskom natjecanju pripremanja jela ispod "čripnje" – oble posude za pripremu jela na otvorenom ognjištu. Fažana je polazišna točka za otočje Brijuni, nacionalni park egzotične vegetacije, stanište istarskih goveda, ovaca, magaraca, koza, ali i drugih, "uvezenih" vrsta, koje se mogu vidjeti kako slobodno trče brijunskim proplancima. Srebrna, zelena i plava – boje ljuskica ribe sardele – postale su zaštitni znak grada Fažana. Duga ribarska tradicija ovog grada sardeli je posvetila Ribarsku akademiju, čiji polaznici u svibnju imaju priliku svladati vještinu soljenja ove plave ribe. Park sardela uz šetnicu na fažanskoj rivi okuplja osebujne umjetničke kreacije te organizira brojne fešte i ribarske večeri. Na Cesti sardela posjetitelji će imati priliku degustirati i naučiti pripremati slanu sardelu, pohanu sardelu, sardelu u marinadi... Istarska malvazija, proizvedena od autohtone istarske sorte vinove loze, može se kušati u vinskim podrumima Rivijere Fažana. Cesta maslinovog ulja omogućit će vam uživanje u "božjem eliksiru" koji su još rimski imperatori smatrali mjerilom savršenstva. Posjetiteljima Rivijere Fažana, osim prekrasnih plaža, na raspolaganju stoje i biciklističke staze, golf tereni, windsurfing škola, Nacionalni park Brijuni je "nadohvat ruke", a u neposrednoj blizini nalazi se i grad Pula s nezaobilaznim amfiteatrom Arenom.
