Jušići is strategically located in the hinterland of the Liburnian Riviera, at the slopes of the Učka Mountain. Part of the Matulji municipality, the village serves as a peaceful retreat for those seeking proximity to the sea while avoiding the crowds of Opatija. The architecture in Jušići is a mix of old stone houses and modern villas, giving the village a special charm that blends past and present. The surrounding area is rich in hiking and cycling trails that lead through dense chestnut and oak forests. A popular route is the one leading to the Učka Nature Park, offering spectacular panoramic views over the entire Adriatic Sea and the islands of Krk and Cres. Culturally, the village is known for its carnival traditions, where the 'Zvončari' (bell ringers) play a central role in driving away winter spirits. Culinary-wise, Jušići is known for its excellent konobas serving traditional Istrian and coastal dishes. Highlights include wild asparagus specialties in spring and marrons (sweet chestnuts) in autumn. Thanks to good transport links, the beaches of Volosko and the sophisticated Opatija are just 10 minutes away, making Jušići a well-suited starting point for exploring the Kvarner region.
