Istria is a discovery, this region offers something for everyone; a beautiful coastline, historic towns, wine, truffles and olive oil. A great destination for food lovers!
Istria exudes a true Italian taste. Many tourists choose this destination because here you can still see the Tuscany of the past, with its country roads and ancient villages among the cypress trees. The Venetians have clearly left their mark. If you enjoy history then you have go to Rovinj, on the west coast of the island, the most romantic place in the Mediterranean.
Hidden coves with white pebbles, large and small bays and rocky cliffs, the beaches of Istria, clean and intact, are real beauties. The magnificent amphitheatre in Pula is the most impressive monument of the Roman Empire in Istria. In Pula you can always take a nice trip on foot or by bike along the beaches that lead to Verudela. In the immediate vicinity, taking a boat, you will reach the Brijuni Islands. This archipelago of 14 islands is the only national park in Istria.
