The coasts of the islands are well indented; the total length of
the indented coast is 37.8 km. The surface of the islands is
fairly levelled (an extension of the South Istrian plateau),
covered with a thick layer of red soil which holds water. Due to
its favourable geographical location and low terrain, Brijuni
Islands are known for their mild climate; winters are mild with
an average temperature of 5.8 °C, summers being relatively warm
with an average temperature of 22.8 °C |

|
The average
temperature in spring is - 12.5 °C, in autumn 14.8 °C. Relative
humidity is fairly high. The vegetation of the islands is
extremely rich - Mediterranean: holm oak, laurel, pine, olive,
rosemary and underbrush. Brijuni Islands are of great maritime
importance. |
