Savudrija: Ristorante Porto Salvore - Salvore , Savudrija Croatia - Lighthouse
Few places in Istria have a history as closely tied to maritime navigation as Savudrija. On Croatia’s northwestern Adriatic coast, this settlement is also known by its Italian name, Salvore, reflecting the peninsula’s bilingual heritage. Savudrija Lighthouse, built in 1818 during Austrian rule, is Croatia’s oldest lighthouse and marks the coastal route near the Slovenian border. Porto Salvore is a compact harbour where fishing boats and small leisure craft moor behind protective piers. Fishing and seafaring have long shaped this stretch of coast, where the low Istrian shore meets the open Adriatic Sea.
