It is located mere 5 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from Pula’s Roman Arena, about 15 minutes from Pula’s International Airport and only few kilometres from the World famous Brioni islands.
Tennis is played in Smrikve for almost three decades.

Today the Smrikva seeds are spread all over the continents of our Planet in over 100 countries.
