Istria

Thanks to its history and geography, this region reveals a unique blend of cultures. Long ago, it belonged to Ancient Greece, then to Italy and after that, to Yugoslavia. Now, this huge peninsula is marked by this mix of cultural influences. Its regional products are a perfect example of this, mixing olive oil, white truffle and sheep’s cheese with its local gastronomy. This goes to show what traces these civilisations have left in this region.

What should we say about its regions? Istria can offer you the beauty of its coast and the breath- taking landscapes of its mountains, while at the same time giving the culture-hungry among you Roman cities and Medieval strongholds. What more could you ask for? Thus, in less than an hour’s time, you can get from Rovinj and the Adriatic coast to a succession of hilltop villages, almost suspended in the relief, such as Motovun or Groznjan.

Are you looking for some change of scenery? Or are you looking for some adventure? Whatever it is, Pula will certainly match your need for new horizons. After all, where else could find a Roman amphitheatre and beautiful natural landscapes in the same municipality? So why not explore the Croatian Istria?
