Pula Tour agencies

The longer-established agencies also let private apartments, holiday houses and villas with pools across southern Istria, in places such as Premantura, Banjole, Ližnjan, Marčana and Pješčana Uvala. Their excursion desks sell the season's trips alongside: sunset dolphin cruises from the harbour, sailing with two skippers, winery visits, and coach days to the Škocjan Caves, Miramare Castle and Trieste, Ljubljana and the towns of Friuli.

The counters handle smaller jobs too, from recreational fishing licences and Eventim tickets for concerts to bike hire, coach tickets, bike repairs and help with currency exchange. Accommodation is confirmed by bank transfer, at one agency within 72 hours of the offer, coach excursions include an escort and accident insurance but not entrance tickets, and cancellation insurance can be added when signing up.
