We have now spent a few days in Opatija, Croatia. This is a charming little town with nice houses and good opportunities for swimming at pebble or rocky beaches. Here are some pictures. Today we have continued south along the Istrian coast and arrived in Pula, pictures coming soon!

ShareHang out at the rocky beach
We mostly hung out at the rocky beach. The boys snorkelled and we sunbathed. One day we took the local bus to the centre of Opatija and had dinner at a nice fish restaurant right by the water.
