The village Smoljanci has less than two hundred inhabitants and it's one of the settlements in the Municipality of Svetvinčenat (St. Vincent). The area is quiet, its friendly people are mostly farmers involved with wine growing. Thus this is a good place to explore local wines and dines. The central part of Smoljanci is the oldest and has specific one-floor linked houses surrounded by high walls. Two interesting sightseeing spots are the 17th century church of Virgin Mary of Good Health and a 19th century train station. The surrounding area is indeed worth visiting, as Smoljanci are well positioned. For start, we recommend the medieval towns Svetvinčenat and Vodnjan, the tourist resort Fažana from where you can visit the national park Brijuni by boat. And of course, there are the cities Pula and Rovinj with many historical, cultural and natural attractions. After exploring the forementioned, try researching Istrian places on your own – we guarantee you won't regret it!
