The Istria region
Istria has a long history of occupation from Roman times, its architecture was heavily influenced by the Venetians especially along the west coast. Italian is still spoken along the coastal strip by many people including Vabriga. There are also many hill top walled towns scattered through the rolling countryside. Istria has very characteristic red soils and produces some excellent wines and olive oil that you can buy locally at reasonable prices. So you can combine a sun holiday with visits to wineries, olive oil producers or little inland restaurants selling the local specialties of seafood, truffles, Istrian cured ham, cheeses etc.
Novigrad / Vabriga Tar area
Novigrad is a pretty port town just north of Vabriga. You can watch the sun set in waterside restaurants and cafes or eat an ice cream while strolling through the narrow streets.
Vabriga where our house is located is a quite village with a small number of local restaurants and a mini-market that sells "everything" including great fresh baked bread and is open all day every day in the summer season.

Boat hire is also available nearby. Vabriga & the nearby twin village of Tar offer numerous restaurants and local shops and you are 10 minutes by car from the lively town of Porec. The attractive coastal town of Novigrad is also just a few minutes by car. Inland you will find vineyards, olive groves (and some say the best olive oil in the world) as well as quite villages in the Istrian countryside. The historic Venetian town of Rovijn and Pula with its Roman amphitheatre are also only short drives away. You can also make day trip excursions to Triest (by road) and Venice (by high speed ferry from Porec) or even into the beautiful Slovenian Alps for the more adventurous visitor.
