40th Anniversary of Koversada naturist resort

The story says that the first naturist visiting Koversada was famous Venetian adventurer Giacomo Casanova who decided to take a break from his exerting journeys on this small islet.
Two hundred years later Rudolf Halbig, German owner of "Miramare" travel agency, searching for a perfect spot along the Adriatic coast where he could invite his friends of nature and unbounded enjoyment of sun and sea, came to Vrsar and found there what he was looking for. First naturists put up in the village of Vrsar and went to Koversada islet for swimming and sunbathing. As the years were passing by, the islet became too small for increasing number of visitors. In the year of 1965 resort spreaded on the near by shore. In the course of years Koversada grew to one of the largest and and the most popular naturist resorts in Europe.

Today Koversada is a modern but naturally preserved naturist resort spreading over the area of 120ha. It is equipped with modern facilities, apartments, bungalows and campground, and can accommodate 7000 naturists where they can enjoy in sunny coves, crystal clear sea and discover primeval and undisturbed closeness to nature.
