Discover Istria
Where the Adriatic meets Venetian towns and Roman stone
Istria is the largest peninsula in the Adriatic. Its western coast is lined with pine-shaded coves, rocky beaches and clear water, and with harbour towns shaped by centuries of Venetian rule.
Inland, medieval hill towns look out over vineyards, olive groves and the oak forests famous for truffles. Pula's Roman amphitheatre, Rovinj's old town and the islands of Brijuni National Park are all within easy reach.
Clear Adriatic sea
Pine-fringed coves, rocky beaches and calm, clear water for swimming and snorkelling.
Roman & Venetian heritage
From Pula's 1st-century arena to the Venetian bell tower above Rovinj.
Truffles, olive oil & wine
Taste Istrian truffles, local olive oil and Malvazija and Teran wines.
