Istria’s crystal clear sea, clean shores and ports, its lively fishing boats and teeming narrow stone streets exude the true charm of the Mediterranean.

The heart-shaped peninsula reaching deep into the clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea is a hidden garden of beauty which opens the door to the sunny and warm Mediterranean. 

The region boasts charming coastal towns such as Pula, Rovinj, and Poreč, known for their beautiful architecture, narrow streets, and vibrant atmosphere. Istria is home to numerous historical sites, including the well-preserved Roman amphitheater in Pula, Byzantine mosaics in Poreč, and hilltop towns like Motovun and Grožnjan.

Istria is also famous for its delicious cuisine, particularly truffles, olive oil, and seafood dishes. It is often referred to as a gourmet paradise. It is the best region in Croatia when it comes to food and wine.
