Istria is a breathtaking place. While the Adriatic Sea washes its shores, romantic and nostalgic towns line up to decorate it: Umag, Novigrad, Poreč, Vrsar, Rovinj, Pula. Towns that earned Istria a spot among the top travel destinations. Many hidden gems lie behind the shores, scattered around the rolling green hills of Istria, waiting to be discovered. The picturesque inland of Istria, called green Istria, awaits you to immerse in historic charm, unspoiled nature, stunning views, and the local spirit. Life along the coasts of Istria has always been tied to the sea. The soothing sound of the waves clashing against the natural rock formations, seeing fishermen leave harbour, and watching the sunset while indulging in the wide variety of fresh seafood caught the same day, are all things that make this place one of a kind. Dive into Istria with over five months of summertime to enjoy the clearest beaches, taste the latest wines, and experience plenty of activities even in spring and autumn times, frequented by outdoor enthusiasts, such as cyclists, kayakers, and hunters. Personally, we love visiting Istria outside the crowded summer season as you get to interact with locals a lot more and see what places they like and recommend. With fewer guest around, there is less of a rush. People, employees, and managers have more time and as a result you get to enjoy more attention than usual and that always makes for a better experience.
