Small peninsula located in the northwest of Croatia, Istria has not ceased for years to seduce travellers in search of dolce vita. Its rocky coves and turquoise waters give it an undeniable charm and light airs of paradise.

Also called Green Istria, this region is characterized by its varied landscapes, punctuated by high hills at the top of which you can visit pretty picturesque villages, like Motovun : in the heart of the Istrian countryside, this city in the middle of green hills reminds Tuscany, thanks to its olive trees and its generous vegetation. From the ramparts which border its city, you will have an impregnable sight on the area.

Further south in Istria, settle down in the pretty coastal town of Rovinj considered one of Europe's jewels, this fishing town is worth a look as it is one of the most visited places in Croatia. Full of charm and famous for its romantic character, this ancient medieval city is ideal for walks, bike rides, with family or lovers. Stroll along its winding streets and discover its stone monuments, but also its houses with warm colors facing the Adriatic Sea which, from time immemorial, inspired painters who come to pose their easel.

In the north-east, do not miss the pretty seaside resort of Opatija : thanks to its Mediterranean climate, its view on the sea and its numerous monuments, it is an ideal holiday resort to discover the region. Take its 12-kilometre Adriatic promenade and linger in one of the city's many restaurants to enjoy freshly caught grilled fish. After a good meal, lie down on one of Opatija's beaches, renowned for their swimming quality and calm waters.

Along the coasts of Istria blows a sweet perfume of Italy : given its tormented history, this region testifies today of influences sometimes Croatian, sometimes Italian. So don't be surprised if the signs are written in these two languages when you travel.

Stop over in the city of Pula, which is probably the most Roman city in Croatia : visit its temple of Augustus, its forum and its amphitheatre, which once hosted gladiatorial battles. Pula is also famous for its beaches lined with green pines, but also for the beauty of its shallow, bright blue waters. Ideal for idleness, they are also suitable for sports enthusiasts who can learn to surf, kitesurf or windsurf. Numerous cycle paths and hiking trails have been created to allow holidaymakers to discover the hidden treasures of this beautiful, unspoilt natural setting.

Croatia is famous for its many islands and the Istria region is no exception. A good advice : do not leave without having visited the Brijuni archipelago and its 14 islands, all more beautiful than the others.

Finally, the gastronomy of Istria is reminiscent of Italian cuisine. Thus, you can enjoy excellent risottos, pasta, seafood, fried fish, but also pizzas and white truffles that are the pride of Istrians.
