THE BEST OF ISTRIA
INTERESTING TOWNS, RICH CULTURES
We take you on a journey into the past, to meet with many different cultures, peoples and civilizations who have created in the past this heart-shaped red land - Istria!
It proudly presents its rich legacy and monuments dating back to the Romans, Byzantium, Venice, Napoleon, Austria-Hungary ...
Cities and towns have splendid Romanesque buildings, Gothic and Baroque palaces and villas, medieval towers and ramparts, churches, squares.
You will visit the largest town in Istria - P**a with Amphitheatre, the most charming medieval town of Rovinj with its well known Church of St. Euphemia, and the most touristic town of Porec with UNESCO heritage – Euphrasian Basilica.
After visiting Rovinj, we will stop for a lunch break at Lim Fjord, a 10 km long estuary, also known as a mussel farm.
On the way to Porec we will stop at Farm Pino, an excellent and awarded olive oil producer, giving you the opportunity to taste the olive oil and to buy it.
Central Istria is rich in acropolis towns located on the green hills. Legend has it that once upon a time in the Mirna valley lived giants who were so large that they handed each other tools and big rocks and built so many small towns in the hills. We will now trace the legend to visit one such town, Motovun!
Motovun is, according to the opinion of alternative scientists, the most powerful source of positive energy in Istria because three lay lines intersect here. They emanate positive life energy, relax, calm, rest and spiritualize. Perhaps that is why Motovun one of the most popular Istrian destination!
