Barban, a small medieval town in southern part of central Istria. Barban’s attractions include defense walls and city gates from the late Middle ages, four old churches with priceless frescoes and glagolitic inscriptions. Barban became famous thanks to a knight race called ‘Trka na prstenac’ that is held every August and attracts lots of visitors and VIP’s. The nearest beach is in a village Krnica, around 10 kilometers away. Nearby you can find a horse ranch with specialized riding programs. Pula, the largest city of Istria, is only a half hour drive away from Villa Mala kopa and we don’t recommend visiting Istria without seeing wonderful remains from Pula’s long and interesting history, including the Amphitheatre, city gates, the incredible Arch of the Sergii etc. The beauty of Brijuni national park leaves everybody speechless and the island of Veli Brijun is easily reachable by boat that ships from the small fishermen town Fažana.
