Legend has it that in the Mirna valley lived giants who were so tall they could build settlements with their own hands. Welcome to the green Istrian hills – a place of mythical beauty that you'll explore on this half-day tour from Rovinj to Groznjan and Oprtalj.
The adventure kicks off in Groznjan – an artists' colony, which is surrounded by green hills. It is rich in ancient churches, prehistoric sites, historic castles, and palaces. It's also home to no less than 28 artists' studios. You'll discover every nook and cranny, and streets that lead to art galleries and other surprises.
On your way to Oprtalj you'll stop at a local winery for a tasting of local Istrian delicacies, wine and olive oil. Then it's over to the hilltop hamlet of Oprtalj. Here, you'll stroll down ancient streets with great views over the surrounding countryside.
