This lighthouse was built in 1833 on the islet southwest of Istria’s southernmost cape. The islet is an 80 m cliff, 2.5 km from the mainland and the small town of Premantura.

The 35 m lighthouse tower is overlooks the rest of the stone building. The islet itself has three smaller berths. This a ground-floor building with a concrete yard and has two four-bed apartments.

We recommend swimming at docking places. Currents around the islet are very strong all day long, therefore, we recommend that you do not swim over 50 m from the islet’s shores even if you are an excellent swimmer. The lighthouse keeper will gladly tell you where the best swimming places are at different times of the day. Due to very strong winds during the day, we recommend windsurfing only to very experienced surfers.

The islet is so small that it takes just over a minute to walk around it, nevertheless, the walk is magnificent due to sunsets that are considered to be the most beautiful on the Adriatic. Trips to the island of Unije, known for its fabulous bays, or to the city of Pula can be arranged as well.

Before or after your holiday, we recommend a visit to the reserve nature (Cape of Kamenjak) where there are 530 specious of flora, of which 20 are orchids. Besides one endemic orchid, there are two more endemic plants and several other plants that are endangered on the cape. If you are looking for something different, make sure to visit the Safari bar that will impress you with its original interior and Robinson Crusoe like hosts.

How did the builders succeed in building the lighthouse on in spite of the turbulent sea surrounding the islet? There are many ancient artifacts hidden in the sandy seabed that surrounds the islet. Numerous boats that sank due to tempests can be found in the shallow waters in the vicinity of Krsin, Fenoliga and Veliki Balkun. The islet of Fenoliga is unique and definitely worth visiting due to dinosaur tracks that can be found there!
