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.

“Great family friendly villa with lots of thought to keep us occupied” Clean and well presented , Great to find the x box and hard drive full of films to keep our teenager quiet in the evenings and nice selection of books and information left by owners and previous guests . Not ideal for sandy beaches and we would advise a car to find the best beaches down unmarked dusty tracks using a hiking/bike trail map if you want to get away from the crowds. The pool is a godsend and well maintained as is the garden furniture provided for relaxation and barbecue. it was nice to have both front and back doors. This is a good location for exploring Istria and close to good seafood restaurants.

“Fantastic cottage in Croatian countryside” I stayed at Casita 2 with my 13 yr old daughter and 10 yr old son, and can highly recommend. The cottage is well furnished, comfortable and with some extra touches that were a big hit with the children: pool, x box, and a huge catalogue of films on a hard drive. Every night became family film night. You do need to be comfortable driving abroad as the cottage is only accessible by car. Having said that, in June, the roads were very quiet. There are loads of lovely places to visit from the cottage, all within about a 20 minute drive. You'll be sure to get a relaxing break at Casita 2.
