Beschreibung

Die Legende besagt, dass im Mirna-Tal Riesen lebten, die jeweils einen Weiler auf einem Hügel bauten. Und diese Tour führt Sie zu zwei von ihnen. Die grüne Hügellandschaft Istriens ist ein Ort von mythischer Schönheit, und nirgendwo ist dies mehr der Fall als in den märchenhaften Dörfern Grožnjan und Oprtalj. Ivana, eine unserer ortskundigen Tourguides, sagt: "Grožnjan litt Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts unter Entvölkerung, sodass Künstler und Musiker ermutigt wurden, die leer stehenden Häuser als Ateliers zu nutzen. Heute gibt es etwa 40 Ateliers und ein beliebtes Sommermusikfestival. In beiden Dörfern gibt es zudem eine ausgeprägte italienische Gemeinde, was die kulturelle Mischung noch verstärkt."

Ihr Abenteuer beginnt mit einer landschaftlich reizvollen Fahrt durch die istrische Hügellandschaft nach Grožnjan - der Künstlerkolonie, die sich auf einem Bergrücken befindet. Schlendern Sie durch die Gassen, die von hübschen Steinhäusern gesäumt sind, und halten Sie Ausschau nach alten Kirchen und Palästen. In den zahlreichen Galerien und Geschäften können Sie nach handgefertigten Souvenirs wie Schmuck, Drucken, Textilien und Kunstwerken stöbern.

Danach ist es Zeit für eine Pause mit einer Verkostung lokaler istrischer Köstlichkeiten sowie Wein und Olivenöl in einer typischen Taverne. Den Abschluss des Tages bildet ein Besuch im friedlichen Oprtalj. Mit einer langen Geschichte, die bis in die Römerzeit zurückreicht, gibt es hier eine Reihe historischer Gebäude zu bewundern, darunter die venezianische Loggia und die St.-Georgs-Kirche aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, die auf dem Hügel über der Stadt steht. In Oprtalj angekommen, führt Sie Ihr Tourguide durch steile Steingassen mit Blick auf die Landschaft.

Ancient Istria Tour from Rovinj including Pula and Lunch

At the crossroads between Latin and Slavic Europe, Istria offers up the best of both worlds. It packs a lot into its small territory, so this tour shows off the best bits – rustic villages, Roman ruins, Byzantine basilicas and a taste of its world-class food scene. You'll visit Pula, Gržini and Poreč, enjoying scenic landscapes between stops. Karla, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll get to see a side of Istria that most visitors miss when you visit Gržini village for a homemade lunch. You'll taste maneštra – a traditional Istrian country dish – and drink malvazija, the ‘queen' of Istrian wines, in a farm-to-table restaurant.'Kick off the day in Pula, spread around a bay in the south of the peninsula. This storied town is home to a well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, but that's just the tip of the iceberg – Pula boasts a wealth of ancient relics. Must-sees include the Temple of Augustus and the triumphal arch, while there are also Byzantine and baroque churches as well as a Habsburg fortress.Next, we'll head inland to the hamlet of Gržini for a traditional Istrian lunch, washed down with local wine, before returning to the coast to explore Poreč. Set on a compact headland, we'll walk the old Roman streets of Decumanus and Cardo Maximus up to the most important monument in town – the Euphrasian basilica, one of the most beautifully preserved monuments of early Byzantine art in the Mediterranean, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Istrian Hilltop Villages Tour with Local Speciality Tasting

Istrian Hilltop Villages Tour with Local Speciality Tasting

Legend has it that in the Mirna valley lived giants who each built a hilltop hamlet. And this tour takes you to two of them. Istria's green hills are a place of mythical beauty, and nowhere more so than in the fairytale villages of Grožnjan and Oprtalj. Ivana, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Grožnjan was suffering from depopulation in the middle of the 20th century, so artists and musicians were encouraged to come and use its empty houses as studios. Today, there are about 40 ateliers and a popular summer music festival. Adding to the cultural mix, both villages have strong Italian communities.'Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through Istria's hills to Grožnjan – the artists' colony straddling a ridge. Wander its cluster of lanes lined with handsome stone-built homes, looking out for ancient churches and palaces. If you like arty souvenirs, the many galleries and shops are a great place to browse for handmade gifts such as jewellery, prints, textiles and fine art.Next, it's time to take a break with a tasting of local Istrian delicacies, along with wine and olive oil at a typical tavern. Rounding off the day is a visit to peaceful Oprtalj. With a long history stretching back to Roman times, there's a clutch of historic buildings to admire, including the Venetian loggia and the 16th century St George's church, located at the top of the hill overlooking the town. When you arrive at Oprtalj, your guide will show you around steep stone alleys boasting countryside views.
