A really lovely break

Well what a great place!! Fazana itself is a picturesque spot, a quintessential Croatian fishing village with bags of character. These days it’s tastefully converted for the tourist with lots of waterside restaurants and bars with some breathtaking views and sunsets. All remarkably good value. 3.50... - 4.00 euro gets you a large beer and about the same for a large glass of very decent Croatian Wine. another 6.50 - 14 euro and you have a Pizza, possibly the best I’ve had outside of Italy. It’s sort of like a half price Italy and mixes Italian cuisine and Croatian Grill and Fish dishes, all of which were top quality
There is a Foot/Cycle Path that follows the coast with a beach Bar every 500mts or so. The Beach is small white pebbles, the waters crystal clear and the views across to Brijuni nature reserve, Stunning!! About 2km from the centre of Fazana is Bi Village. Right on the waterfront this is a large Campsite with Cabins, Static Caravans and spaces for Motorhomes,Caravans and Tents. A lot of the main operators have pitches here. Eurocamp etc. We went with Plamar in a 6 berth Cabin (Like a posh static Caravan). It was excellent, well equipped and had a large terrace with a big outside dining table and Sunbeds. Fridge Freezer, Microwave and Hob but oddly, no Oven. decent TV, good hot shower, really everything you need for a few days away. Beds were reasonably comfortable. Electric Grill/BBQ with a place to cook outside.
Bi Village boasts 3 Pools, 3 Restaurants, a couple of bars and a small supermarket, as well as a sports and adventure park, down by the beach you could hire Bikes, Boats etc. A Small boat with a 15hp outboard for 5 was about 120euro for the day 10am - 6pm. Very reasonable.
My Hire Car (Courtesy of Holiday Autos) an Opel SUV sports and brand new set me back £100 for the week. Everything here is such good value. Ryanair and Easy Jet fly here and Pula Airport is about 10km away. Worth hiring a car so you can visit Pula and Rovinj and no messing about getting to and from the Airport.
Bi Village seems so laid back, the staff really pleasant, most people speak English
