The Istria region

Istria the region
A large, triangular peninsular in northwest Croatia, Istria has an identity all of its own. Historically it has close ties with Italy and still today, many towns, especially on the western side, are bilingual. It’s notably ahead of the rest of the country regarding current trends: restaurants serve beautifully presented creative cuisine, farmhouses dish up local specialities and the tourist office has set up a series of cycle routes and wine roads.

Lying on the tip of the peninsular is Pula, with a first-century Roman forum as the main square and an ancient amphitheatre dominating the skyline. Close by are the islands of Brijuni National Park, which once served as the summer residence of the late President Tito.

Croatia’s most popular seaside resorts lie on the Istrian west coast: Porec, home to a splendid sixth-century basilica decorated with stunning golden Byzantine mosaics, and neighbouring Rovinj, made up of ochre-and russet-coloured houses clustered around a pretty fishing harbour, crowned by a hilltop church.

Moving inland to the Scre Istre (Heart of Istria), narrow country roads meander through a gently rolling landscape of woodland and vineyards.

Istria’s rugged pine covered forests, deserted beaches, undiscovered coves and breathtaking fjords offer fabulous aerial vistas for hang-gliding and para-gliding, while Istria’s sailing and water sports, like much of Croatia are a world class opportunity.

Highlights
Pula – home to one of the largest roman amphitheatres in the world
Porec – leading centre of Croatian tourism with a beautiful old town
Rovinj – old Venetian town with tiny streets, squares and hidden stairways
Motovun – ancient hilltop village, now home to a trendy annual film festival
Groznjan - 14th-century Venetian fortress reborn as an arts colony
Limski Kanal - a turquoise fjord, renowned for its superb seafood restaurants
Venice Italy – take the hydrofoil over from Porec
All within 5 – 30 minutes drive of The Casitas

The Porec / Sv Louvrec area

Sveti Lovrec is just 3km away and lies on a hill with a wonderful view over tame fields, vineyards, olive groves and the sea in the distance. Its name goes back to the 6th century and stems from the Church of Sv. Lovro (Saint Lawrence). It's not all idyllic views, churches and history .... you will also find shops for basic groceries, a bar, cafe and pizzeria.

Porec is the well known tourist centre of Istria. The old part of the town is built on a small peninsula separated from the mainland by a canal, and protected from the open sea by the island of Sveti Nikola. The popular beaches “Plava laguna” and “Zelena laguna” are located to the south and offer a variety of water sports.

The old town is absolutely beautiful with a plethora of restaurants, bars, cafes and ice-cream parlours. There are farmers markets where you can buy local produce (olive oil, bread, meat, fruit, honey, truffles etc.) and various festivals throughout the year provide plenty of entertainment.

Porec is a popular ‘resort’ however it still looks and feels rustic and remains true to its history with some outstanding architecture. The Café Bar Torre Rotonda (round tower) is a great spot for a sun downer.

Rovinj is another beautiful Croatian walled town built on a small peninsula. Architecturally it looks very similar to Porec - located on small peninsula, surrounded by sea with its historic centre (modelled on Venice). Rovinj offers a whole range of visitor opportunities in a picturesque ambience of the ancient town, surrounded by dense pine forests.

The medieval hill towns of Motovun and Groznjan (our favourite) are within a short drive (30 minutes) as is Pula, home to the 6th largest amphitheatre in the world.

“A fantastic place to stay and a fantastic holiday” Casita One at Stranici was a perfect base for our eight day holiday in Istria - from the moment we arrived we felt very at home and throughout our stay it was a lovely place to return to after each... more

“Casita One - Perfect base for exploring Istria” I stayed here with my girlfriend for a week's early summer holiday in late May/early June. Casita One is a great little holiday home, equipped with everything you could need for a holiday. The villa itself is in a quiet little hamlet about 5 mins drive from Sv. Louvrec which has a shop and pharmacy. The location is very peaceful, which is exactly what we wanted. The kitchen is great for occasional meals in with a proper oven, grill and hob, and everything was neat and tidy. The living area is nice and there's a good selection of DVDs to choose from if you just fancy a lazy night in. The bathroom is perfectly adequate and the bedroom is a good size for a couple. All of the windows have shutters on them so you can keep the place cool during the day. The pool area was lovely and although you share it with Casita Two next door, during our week we largely had it to ourselves. Casita One is in a great location for exploring Istria - about an hour from Pula, 20 mins to Porec and 20 mins to Rovinj. Rovinj and Porec are both beautiful resorts, very Italian in style and beautifully picturesque. Rovinj is perhaps slightly less 'touristy' and was our favourite of the two, but either places are great for exploring, dinner and drinks. We also travelled up to the mountain villages in the north of the region, only 40 minutes drive away and a completely different look at the region - sensational views, great countryside and pretty hilltop villages. All in all, a great base for our first visit to Croatia. Highly recommended.
