 Istria, a heart-shaped peninsula located in the northern Adriatic, is the most visited region in Croatia. Istria is easily accessible by car from many European countries. Unlike the rest of Croatian coast, here you’ll find plenty of things to do all year around. This region is very popular among foodies, cyclists, and history aficionados.

 Istria is a very popular wine country. The most popular wine here is a fresh and fruity white wine Istarska Malvasija, followed by strong and astringent, but smooth red wine Teran.  Istria has a long tradition of viticulture, and the wine has always been an important part of everyday life  here in Istria.

 Beaches in Istria are the number one reason to visit Istria.    You’ll find some shingle and even sandy beaches here, although for the most part, beaches here are rocky. Istria is very touristy, with large hotel complexes and resorts all along the coast.  At many places, within these tourist complexes, you’ll find long piers, built to protect beaches artificially replenished with the pebbles. You’ll also find many cemented sun decks, as well as grassy areas to relax.

 Did you know that the largest white truffle in the world was found in Istrian forests? It even made a Guinness World Record. Forests around Motovun, in central Istria, abound in truffles. From late September to early November, there is a truffle festival taking place in a small village of Livade, but also in nearby Buzet. During the festival there are organized truffle hunting tours, and they are free of charge. You basically go on a bus to a nearby fores where truffle hunter shows you the process of truffle hunting. Sure, the truffles are planted there, and a dog always finds it. But this is for demonstration purpose only.

 Few local agencies also organize truffle hunting tours throughout the year. If interested in such an activity, you can check Istriana Travel, a boutique travel agency based in Vrh near Buzet. They offer half-day truffle hunting tours including a truffle based light lunch.

 Glavani park is high ropes adventure park located in central Istria, near the village Barban. The park has adrenaline filled high ropes courses: 2 m high training course, 6 m high blue course and 10 m high black course, 11 m high swing and Europe’s first suspension bridge across the valley.

 Istralandia water park open in June 2014. It’s located 10 km northeast of Novigrad. Istralandia features twenty slides including a 27 m high free-fall slide, three large swimming pools, sand volleyball and badminton courses, food court, and a souvenir shop. Admission fee is 110 kn (half day), and 140 Kn (full day) for anybody taller than 1,40 m.

 While Croatian wine making history goes long way back to ancient times, the quality hasn’t always been in focus. Until 1990s, wine production was mostly done in big cooperatives that belonged to the state. However, a new generation of young Croatian winemakers, and especially Istrian winemakers, decided to change things some 20 years ago. Today, we can say that these winemakers are writing the most beautiful wine story that Croatia has ever had.

 Cycling in Istria is extremely popular, especially road cycling followed by mountain biking. You’ll find many marked cycling trails, passing through different landscapes: from flat coastal trails to hilly hinterland. Istria is equally popular among recreational cyclists and professionals.

 Dinosaur Park in Funtana is a perfect place to visit with small children. Set in an ancient quarry and surrounded by thick woods, Dino Park is a nice place to visit even during hot summer days. The park has over 1.5 km of paths, a life-size electric dinosaurs, amusement rides for small children, and a small farm where kids can ride ponies. The park also has regular shows throughout the day.
