"The Brijuni islands is a beautiful national park on the west coast of Istria. It has 14 islands in total, but the main boat from Fažana will bring you to Veliki Brijun (eng, Big Brijun).
You can arrive either by the common touristic boat. If you are chartering a boat by any chance, you can book a birth on Veliki Brijun. Anchoring is strictly prohibited due to it being a National Park.
Entrance tickets can be purchased in person in the central office in Fažana or the following link: https://shop.np-brijuni.hr/en "
