Last week I spent three extremelly nice days on Veli Brijun, the largest island between 14 islands of Brioni, placed west from Istrian coast. If You like really peacefull and clean nature, I warmelly recomend it: there is no car traffic on the island, fishing and hunting is forbidden and deers run around without fear, fish are coming close to the coast. Islands have very interesting history and museum of Josip Broz Tito, president of ex-Jugoslavia from 1945 to his death in 1980. Islands were his official residence and they are national park, now. Croatian goverment tries to sell it and I deepelly hope this won't happen: Brioni are such a unique place and I am afraid anyone who could buy it would change them just to another luxury touristic place and they will loose their charm.
There is much more about Brioni but You should go and see it Yourself.
Very close there is capital of Croatian province Istria - Pula, important city in Roman times with fully preserved, 6th largest preserved amphitheatre in the world. There You have to ask for the greatest tourist guide I have ever seen - Mariam Abdelghani, to take You around the city. Before this I have been to Pula several times but I never enjoyed the city so much.
She was also director of first Love and Erotic Festival CASANOVA FEST, they want to become traditional.

Istria has also many other interesting places: Rovinj, Opatija, Motovun and many beautiful villages in the centre of peninsula. Many reasons to plan to stay around at least for a week.
I plan to go to Moscow and Havana soon: would be very grateful for suggestions.
