Holiday villas and apartments in Istria

The large peninsula (nearly 3000km2) in the north western part of Croatia has a lot to offer for its visitors. You will find flourishing valleys, old fishing villages, historic castles and ruines and local vineyards.

After settling into your holiday villa or holiday apartment, it is time to start exploring Istria. The coastal towns have preserved their Roman or Venetian character. The rugged cliffs with crystal clear water and small silicic coves are perfect for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Follow the designated “wine route” or go cycling on one of the many cycle tracks. The countryside is also worth a visit. Take an excursion to Motovun with its massive fortifications or to the beautiful natural surroundings of Groznjan. Experience Opralj and the fantastic view of Hum and a glimpse of “the smallest town in the world”.
