Ce qui vous attend

L'Istrie est un mélange attrayant de villes balnéaires anciennes, de campagnes couvertes de vignes et de villages perchés. Les paysages insulaires, le bon vin et la cuisine se disputent votre attention. Cette journée d'excursion vous propose de découvrir quelques-uns des hauts lieux de l'Istrie, notamment le village historique de Bale et les joyaux du bord de mer de Rovinj et Poreč. Un savoureux déjeuner est prévu, dans un restaurant de campagne à Grzini. Mauro, l'un de nos guides locaux experts, dit : "Cette visite est très variée. Vous verrez les bateaux de pêche traditionnels Batana qui flottent dans le port de Rovinj, vous dégusterez des plats typiques de l'Istrie centrale, et verrez la basilique byzantine de Poreč. Vous aurez un véritable aperçu de notre région."

Votre aventure commence à Bale, un village perché aux ruelles pavées, bordé de maisons médiévales en pierre, et de palais et églises vénitiens. Vous pourrez explorer sa vieille ville labyrinthique, avant de rejoindre Rovinj. Située sur l'Adriatique, l'influence vénitienne y est omniprésente. Occupant une péninsule ovoïde, un trésor de rues sinueuses qui mènent à l'église baroque de Sainte-Euphémie, dont le beffroi élancé domine l'horizon.

Vous continuerez au hameau de Grzini, où un déjeuner typique de l'Istrie vous attend en pleine campagne. De là, vous prendrez à nouveau la direction de la côte pour Poreč. Cette ancienne ville située sur un promontoire est aujourd'hui aussi célèbre pour ses bars et clubs modernes que pour sa basilique euphrasienne. C'est l'un des monuments d'art byzantin primitif les mieux conservés de toute la Méditerranée, inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.

    Long drive inland to have lunch. Also, would have preferred lunch to be slightly shorter and less heavy a meal. Have a little more free time to spend in the villages. They were amazing. Fantastic multilingual guide.

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.

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.
