Description

Located at the head of the Adriatic, the Istrian peninsula is host to some of Croatia's most famous sites, including Pula's Roman amphitheatre, UNESCO protected Byzantine mosaics in Porec, picturesque medieval hill towns and frescoes, and the Brijuni Islands national park, home to Tito's former summer residence. Istria has much to offer the gourmand, the nature lover, the history buff, the water sports enthusiast and adventurer. Long overdue, this in-depth guide steers the enthusiastic traveller through its outdoor sports scene and fascinating hinterland with beautiful old hill towns, little-known villages, medieval frescoes, truffles, and festivals.
