Savudrija

Savudrija is a coastal settlement at the westernmost point of Croatia with traditional stone houses and Mediterranean vegetation. The area stretches along the Adriatic coast and connects residential zones with beaches and walking paths.

Archaeological finds near the lighthouse show human settlements from around 11,000 years ago, with Roman trade connections that followed. These early occupations reveal a long history of use by different cultures.

The area shows Italian influences in its architecture and daily life, visible through bilingual street signs and local celebrations that shape community life. These traces run deep in how buildings are designed and how people live their routines.

The location is accessible via multiple pebble beaches and paths that connect residential areas with central Umag. The area is good for walking and cycling, with established routes for different activities.

The lighthouse from 1818 remains working today and offers accommodation for visitors alongside its navigation function. The structure has become an unexpected lodging option over time.
