The Istria region
Novigrad, on the northwest coast, was a thriving Roman port, but the town is defined by the fortified Byzantine wall that curls around parts of the seafront. Renaissance mansions and Venetian squares are strung out along a curving spit of land, protecting a pretty marina and fishing port lined with seafood restaurants. The Istria peninsular has often been called the "Tuscany" of Croatia. The area is steeped in history, with Pula having a large Roman Amphitheatre, Forum, and cobbled pedestrian shopping alleys and market. All over the area are ancient picuresque hill-top villages. Vineyards abound, and the local wine is very drinkable, and complements the excellent local food (Naturally fish tends to be a speciality, but the steaks are just as good!) The bulk of holiday makers tend to be Italians and Germans, although English is widely understood in the main centres; so if you want to get away from the crush of English tourists, this is the place!
Porec area
The historic core of the town of Novigrad lies on a promontory that was once an island which was connected with the mainland in the 18th century. The well-preserved town walls are one of the most attractive symbols of this tourist resort. Many different rulers and cultures – from Byzantine, Frankish, German, Venetian, French, and Austro-Hungarian to Italian – have left clear traces in architecture.
Novigrad has a very long tourist tradition, as early as 1845 it had its first guidebook. The town is famous for top-quality olive oil, several great restaurants and taverns. At the end of July the traditional blues festival is held with performers from all over the world. A sight worth visiting is the Parish Church of SS. Mary, Maximus and Pelagia, who is also the patron saint of the town. In nearby Dajla there is an impressive country house built on an estate whose history dates back to the Roman period.

Guestbook
My wife and I enjoyed our 4 weeks at Villa Paolija immensely. The spacious apartment was immaculately clean and very comfortable. The amenities made life very easy: new dishwasher, refrigerator, air-conditioner, wireless internet, and satellite TV. The infrastructure is great: for example, the shower makes hot water instantly. The apartment is a very short drive to the beautiful sea town of Novigrad, with its picturesque harbor, beaches, and medieval walls. The apartment is a good place to stay while exploring the entire region of Istria and other areas in Croatia and Slovenia. In fact, Italy is only 70 kilometers away. We had a great time exploring, but it was always nice to return home to the peaceful, quiet apartment after a day of sight-seeing. We enjoyed many fine restaurants in the area, but it was also fun to cook in the apartment with the terrific fresh ingredients that are easy to buy in Novigrad. It is impossible to imagine better hosts than Irena and Zlatko. They are warm and welcoming people, who do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. They do a fine professional job of keeping the villa in good shape, and they add an extra dimension with their friendly hospitality. They were also very helpful with advice about sight-seeing and restaurants. They were happy to call restaurants to make reservations for us. They are wonderful people, and we miss them already!
