Choose adventure
Pack your getaway with top activities, and see the area’s most breathtaking scenery as you go. Truffle hunting in the Motovun forest area is a real draw, but set sail to one of the 14 Brijuni Islands to experience even more local beauty. Rovinj and its old town and aquarium combine ancient relics with modern marvels.
Blissful beaches
Most of the beaches are fronted with pebbles, but you’ll find a few sandy spots on your travels too. For starters, the main beach in Poreč is a favourite, with its sunbathing space and shaded restaurants just behind. Rovinj’s Amarin Beach is a lush pick with Blue Flag status.
Fabulous food
Infused with unmistakable Italian influences, the regional cuisine showcases plenty of pasta and risotto dishes. The fish and seafood are also great as it’s sourced directly from the surrounding coast. For a taste of Istrian tradition, savour a bowl of manestra, a hearty vegetable stew that epitomises the local culinary charm.
