Lovrečica The small holiday resort of Lovrecica is picturesquely embedded in the beautiful Istrian landscape, between Cape Malin and Cape Lovrecic, in a picturesque bay. Although lively Umag is only 7km away, visitors can expect blissful peace and quiet here. Near the town, the enchanting little church of St. Lovre entices you to visit it. The saint is also the patron saint of the place. He is honored in a cheerful folk festival every year on August 10th. On this day, a large number of choir singers and musicians perform traditional and classical music pieces in Lovrecica. The locals also hold competitions in various disciplines: card games, fishing, volleyball and football, to name just a few. In and around the town, both sports fans and fishing fans will find numerous opportunities to pursue their hobby. Wonderful, often paved or tarred paths along the coast invite walkers or joggers to take long tours. The sea off Lovrecica is rich in tasty fish. If you don't want to fish yourself, you can also enjoy the delicious seafood freshly prepared in one of the local traditional restaurants. Located north of Lovrecica, in the direction of Umag, is the excellently equipped car campsite "Finida".

Everything on the menu is highly recommended 👍👍
