Marina Vrsar

Marina Vrsar in the beginning of tourist development in Vrsar is marked by the existence of three inns (Aquilante, Mismas and Istria) which started to operate before the Second World War, as well as by the children's summer camp Ernesto Faidiga, established under the Italian rule. Modern tourism started in 1957 with the establishment of the catering-trading company Lim. In 1961 the island of Koversada was turned into a nudist resort. With the nudist campsite Koversada, Marina Vrsar is considered the pioneer of the European nudist movement. Vrsar won great popularity with the organization of the 13th International Nudist Congress in 1972. The construction of accommodation facilities was continued on the Petalon peninsula. Today, Vrsar is a well-known tourist resort with great opportunities for visitors. In front of Vrsar is one of the most beautiful archipelagos with 18 unpopulated islets covered with Mediterranean plants. Hotels are located close to the sea, along nice beaches, and Marina Vrsar campsites are world-famous. This applies particularly to the Koversada nudist camp, which is the largest nudist resort in Europe. Its capacity is 18,500 guests per day. Vrsar offers a great number of catering establishments (restaurants, inns, buffets, pizzerias and night clubs) and many sports and recreational facilities (tennis courts, various playgrounds, boccia grounds, miniature golf, airport for aerial sports "Crljenika"; renting of sports and sailing boats, surfboards, bicycles), as well as entertainment programs.
