Brijuni National Park
Brijuni National Park is a group of two larger and twelve smaller islets along the west coast of Istria, near Pula, with the total area of only 7 square km. Both the archipelago and the surrounding sea are part of the national park. The park offers a gorgeous and easy-to-swim educational underwater trail to explore the protected area of the Adriatic Sea, which include populations of fish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, algae, sea sponges, crabs, and shellfish.
The Brijuni Archipelago is known for its preserved Mediterranean vegetation, which is partly landscape and partly a safari park. There’s also valuable Roman and Byzantine-era heritage – Romans used the natural limestone to build up and down the Adriatic Sea.

Mljet National Park is a combined island and national park near Dubrovnik, and it’s one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic.
