Čarobni svet školjk
Operated by the Mediterranean Institute and curated by Jan Simič, the museum has a collection of 3,000 shells and aquatic creatures on display, including exotic ones.
Akvarij
Small aquarium with a variety of sea creatures. A tour takes only around 15 minutes, and kids tend to enjoy it. Also nicely cool inside, so a great activity during the hottest times of the day.
Tartinijev trg
The beautiful oval-shaped main square, with a statue of the famous violinist Giuseppe Tartini. This was once the marina, but after it silted up it was paved over with white stone.
zvonik
A faithful replica of the San Marco Campanile in Venice. For a fee it's possible to climb the tower, which offers a magnificent view over the city and the bay.
It houses various religious artefacts, archaeological finds, and historic artworks. Only takes 15 minutes to look around, but requires a fee to get in.
Cerkev sv. Jurija
A Roman catholic church built on the hill top in Venetian Renaissance style in the early 16th century. The inside is quite beautiful, although it's closed with a gate outside sermon hours which means only peeking in from the door is possible.
