Another highlight of your cruise should be a visit to the Brijuni National Park, a group of 14 large and small islands in the southwest of Istria.
You can moor your luxury yacht in St Nicholas Bay on Veli Brijun Island or on Mali Brijun (of the same name!), from where you can explore the archaeological sites (from Roman times), lonely bays, green meadows and pastures, as well as a diverse fauna. Paul Kupelwieser, an Austrian industrialist, acquired this island paradise in the 1890s, made it malaria-free and developed it as part of the Austrian Riviera into a health resort for the upper middle classes, artists, civil servants and also the Austrian imperial family, which even received state visits here. Discover the present peace and seclusion of this island world, which not so long ago was only accessible to a few people, as it also served as Tito's residence.
