FUNTANA, a town in the central part of the western coast of
Istria, about 6 km south of Porec. It is situated on the low and
fertile coast, which provides many farming opportunities
(vineyards, olive-groves, citrus fruits, vegetables, wheat). The
ground is covered with a thick layer of red soil which holds
water. The indented low coast with a number of islands is an
attractive landscape for the development of tourism. |

More intensive development of tourism started in the 1960s, when
in the attractive coastal area from Zelena laguna (Green Lagoon)
to Valkanela several campsites and a hotel village were built,
as well as numerous rooms and suites in family houses. Today
Funtana stretches on both sides of the road Porec - Vrsar. The
chief occupation is renting of rooms. One of the specific
features of the town is a great number of catering
establishments - restaurants, inns, wine cellars, etc. |
