About Valun
Valun is situated in the
southern part of the Bay of Valun between two beautiful pebbly beaches. Valun
was founded as a port of the old village of Bucev, the remains of which were
found in the vicinity of the Church of St. Mark, whose inhabitants established a
new settlement when they got oriented to the sea.Today Valun is a picturesque
seaside village, situated around a small harbour, whose economy is based on
camping and family tourism. Apart from the Church of St. Mark and "Valun's
table" from the 11th century it is interesting to see Glagolitic collection of
stone monuments situated on the terrace of a restaurant where copies of the
oldest inscriptions in Glagolitic alphabet from Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia are
displayed.
