Istria

Istria is indeed something special. With its little towns nested on the picturesque hills and surrounded by olive gardens in the valley, Istria is often compared to Tuscany. 

Coastal towns like Pula, Rovinj and Porec provide unique experiences into the beautiful and diverse architecture and remains of Roman times but they are also vibrant and urban places where you want to explore the amazing culinary culture of Istria peninsula. Our suggestions: Rovinj, Motovun, Brijuni national park.

ON THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE ROMANS

Olive tree is a symbol of Mediterranean – olive oil is more than a symbol it is an unbreakable element of Mediterranean thus Croatian life. In Istria they use it in medicine, cuisine or for beauty product. The House of Istrian Olive Oil located in Pula is a place to taste many different varieties of Istrian olive oil and just around the corner there is one of the most impressive Roman amphitheatres in the world, the only remaining to have four side towers entirely preserved. What an experience to have in one day!
