- Avoid weekend peak hours, as the village is located on an important transit route.

Permani is strategically located at the intersection of old trade routes connecting the Opatija coast with the interior and Slovenia. Today, the village is primarily known for its excellent gastronomy. Local 'gostionas' serve hearty dishes such as jota (stew), homemade pasta, and grilled meat specialties. The village serves many travelers as a starting point for hikes on the surrounding hills of the Učka massif or into the Lisina forests. Despite its convenient location for traffic, Permani has retained a rural charm. The architecture is a blend of old farmhouses and more modern residential buildings. Culturally, Permani is part of the 'Zvončari' area, the bell ringers who roam the villages during the carnival season. Proximity to the highway makes it a handy stop for travelers seeking genuine Istrian hospitality. It is a place where one can feel the transition zone between the Mediterranean coast and the continental mountain region.
