Interesting to know

According to available information and local stories, the lighthouse Savudrija was built by count Meternich in 1818 for a beautiful Croatian noble woman in whom he fell in love at a Viennese ball. Unfortunately, the owners never got the chance to live together in the building: the noble woman died on the very day the lighthouse was finished and count Meternich never visited it again.

Notes

Lighthouse guests do not have guaranteed privacy on the beach in front of the lighthouse since the beach and sea is accessible to tourists from nearby hotels as well.
