Istria

As the westernmost County of the Republic of Croatia, Istria borders Slovenia and has a maritime
border with Italy. The peninsula is considered the largest green oasis of the Northern Adriatic and
one of the most popular destinations for foreign visitors to Croatia. The spectacular shoreline has
numerous bays, islands, coves and pebble and rocky beaches. The coast and the islands are covered
with pine woods and easily recognizable green macchia. With a green countryside of vine and olive
groves, mediaeval villages and a multitude of charming port towns, Istria has at times been called
the land of truffles, wine and song.
The flavour of Istria is a mixture of Italian with the particular charm of the Croatian Adriatic. Key
towns include Pula, an extraordinary port set right at the end of the Istrian Peninsula with little
streets, Roman monuments at every cross road and the magnificent Pula Amphitheatre. Pula will
also provide you with some of the most seductive and beautiful beaches. Rovinj, a fine example of a
fortified town is a popular destination and considered the little gem of Istria. Porec is also a pretty
town known for its 6th century Byzantine Basilica built by the Emperor Euphrasius.
Istria has a mild, Mediterranean climate (warm and dry summers, mild and pleasant winters) with
plenty of clear days throughout the summer with a daily average of 10 hours of sun. The cuisine of
Istria represents a special Croatian style of cooking, a blend of inland and coastal, with recipes rich
in excellent fish and seafood.

The Surrounding Area

Svetvinenat
The medieval town of Svetvinenat, situated in the
southern part of central Istria, is one of those Istrian
jewels that has been discovered only recently. It
offers a variety of tourist offer such as events taking
place at extremely attractive historical sites of this
town.
During the summer months the renovated medieval
Morosin-Grimani castle becomes the venue for
programs of Istraetnojazz festival, whereas the
nearby magnificent central town square and
surrounding areas are the stage for the traditional
Festival of dance and non-verbal theater.
At the end of autumn the Festival of new wine is held here, a chance for the best winemakers of
Istria to present their new wines.

Pula
The largest town on the Istrian peninsula offers a
diversity of attractions to lovers of culture. The rich
itinerary of its three thousand year old history,
where every step you take through the old town is a
landmark, begins and ends with the Roman
amphitheatre.
A great tourist asset is surely 190 kilometres of
indented coastline, crystal-clear sea and beaches to
suit everyones needs: smooth and even stone
surfaces or pebbles for all generations, especially
families with children or secluded beaches hidden
by untouched greenery for those who want a bit of
privacy.
While strolling through Pula you will come across numerous monuments of Roman architecture:
the Triumphal Arch of the Sergi from the 1st century B.C., Hercules Gate and Twin Gates, the
Temple of Augustus, Arena and Small Roman Theatre in the town centre.
A unique experience will be moments of relaxation in the main town square, which has managed to
retain its role as the meeting place since the Augustan Age.

Rovinj
One of the most 'photogenic' towns in the
Mediterranean, once a fishing town, today is a
tourist resort. At a distance of some 30 kilometres
from Cirka, Rovinj has long been known as the town
with favourable and beneficial climatic features. So,
today its people are still proud of this long tradition
and 'fight' for the title of 'healthy town'... The rest is
natures work. The entire coastline, with its twentytwo islands is an area of protected natural heritage.
Feel the enchantment of the town in its narrow
medieval streets and warm Mediterranean setting.
The main Church of St. Euphemia keeps relics of the
saint and presents one of the most beautiful Baroque
achievements in Istria. From the church plateau
there is a wonderful view of the open sea and
numerous islets in the distance. A visit to the Rovinj
Town Museum and the towns many galleries will
complete your cultural experience.
Its surroundings offer immense possibilities for
recreation: biking, horseback riding, jogging. But,
owing to the sea and what it has to offer, ranging
from sailing to discovering the underwater world, its
therapeutic properties, today Rovinj is the
destination for tourists from all over the world.

Bale
The town of Bale is situated at a height of 140 meters
above sea level and lies at the intersection of roads
leading to Rovinj, Pula and Trieste, only 5 kilometres

from the sea. The town developed around the medieval castle of the Sardo and Bembo families in
the 15th century and is mentioned in the earliest written documents as the Roman settlement
Castrum Vallis.
It is yet another typical Istrian town built on a hilltop with narrow streets and stone houses that
create a special atmosphere. The town is dominated by the bell tower of the Parish Church of St.
Julian, built at the end of the 19th century. The Bembo Palace has recently been completely
restored, nearby is a fine example of a town loggia, whereas the town centre is under protection.
