Istria

Discover an enchanted land...
...where vineyards and olive groves touch the edge of the sea.

Istria is Croatia's largest peninsula, and many will agree that it is one of the most interesting regions in Croatia. From its majestic, lush nature that beckons you to explore and be active to its increasingly popular gourmet scene, led by truffles, asparagus, and world-class wines and olive oils. Despite its openness to all the cultures that have intermingled in the region across the centuries, Istria has managed to retain a unique identity that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who visits.

We recommend you explore its numerous beaches and hidden bays. Make sure to discover its culinary side in one of the local konobas, or take a peek into rural Istria and enjoy a meal at a family farm. If you love cycling, don’t miss the numerous marked and maintained bike paths that connect the coast with romantic hilltop towns like Grožnjan or Motovun.
