Istria

Istria is the heart-shaped peninsula at the northwest end of Croatia, bordering Slovenia in the north and protruding into the upper Adriatic between Trieste and the Kvarner Gulf. The Istrian coast is the closest charter region to central Europe and the most-developed for tourism. The southern tip holds Pula (a 1st-century AD Roman amphitheatre still in use as a concert venue) and the Brijuni Islands national park; the west coast holds Rovinj (Venetian-era Old Town on a peninsula, with Saint Euphemia's church bell tower as the visual centre), Poreč (UNESCO Euphrasian Basilica), and the resort marinas at Umag and Novigrad. The food traditions inland blend Italian and Croatian — truffles, Istrian olive oil, malvazija wine. Istria is a 3-day standalone or a north start for a Croatian-coast cruise. Season runs April through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
