Is Šišan the same as Medulin?
No. Šišan is a separate village belonging to the Ližnjan municipality, alongside Valtura, Muntić and Jadreški, not to Medulin. Plan on a car for beach days and shopping.
Do the holiday homes in Šišan have pools?
Generally, yes, though check each listing. Most also have three bedrooms and a garden, which is why the village works well for families and groups sharing one place.
What are the beaches like near Šišan?
Rocky and gravelly. The Ližnjan coast stretches for about 28 km and is largely unsettled, so expect an indented shore of rocks and gravel rather than a long sandy beach.
