Istria

Some say Istria is the best-kept secret in Croatia – come and explore this relatively-undiscovered gem.

Istria in the north-west is a green peninsula with a close cultural tie to northern Italy. The region is best known for its Venetian-era port towns of Porec and Rovinj. The hills of the interior are planted with vineyards.

Why we like Istria

Istria is a land of great tradition. Ancient Romans selected among their territories the best areas for each product: wheat, fish, wine, oil, fruits and vegetables – and Istria was selected as one of the most important areas for wine and oil. Today wine and creative cookery are having a resurgence and a handful of innovative vineyards and olive groves have opened their doors to tourism.
