Premantura is a picturesque town with 450 residents, located in Istria's far south, which was already settled during the Bronze Age. The remains of rustic villas are evidence of the ancient Romans' wise choice of Premantura as an ideal setting. A beautiful statue of Minerva was also found here, today kept in the Archaeological Museum in Pula.The long, narrow peninsula of Kamenjak gives Premantura its most recognizable characteristic. This peninsula is 9.5 km long and as wide as 1.5 km, and stretches into the Adriatic Sea like a long arm.
Kamenjak is encompassed by a 30 km coastline dotted with numerous coves and miniature beaches, and this primeval beauty is enriched with small islands which rise from the crystalline blue-green sea.In Premantura there are several well-stocked stores, bank and souvenir shop. The restaurants have made Premantura famous as a place of rich tables set with fish and other seafood specialities.Of the numerous tourist and popular celebrations, we particularly recommend two: The Crab Festival on May 1, and the most important festival, Lovrečevo, on August 10, which is the feast of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of Premantura
