Things to do in Istria

The peninsula of Istria, found in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, will impress you in all seasons with its diverse nature and outdoor offerings. The interior is filled with rolling green hills and rich plains, perfect for cultivating olives, truffles, asparagus and vineyards alike to supply its many local farmhouse hotels and restaurants. Its coastline, on the other hand, offers rocky beaches with unimaginably blue waters - perfect for snorkeling, diving and swimming. The sunny summer months attract beach-lovers and hikers alike, but even in the busiest seasons, it's easy to get off-the-beaten-path to discover the less crowded gems that Istria has to offer.
