Dit kun je verwachten

Istrië biedt een geweldige mix van oude kustplaatsen, met wijnranken begroeide landschappen en dorpen bovenop heuvels. Uitzichten op eilanden, goede wijn en heerlijke gerechten strijden bovendien om je aandacht. Op deze dagtocht zie je een aantal van de mooiste plekjes van Istrië, waaronder het historische dorp Bale en de schilderachtige kustplaatsen Rovinj en Poreč. Ook smul je van een lunch in een traditioneel restaurant bij Grzini. Mauro, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "We pakken groots uit op deze tour. Van traditionele Batana vissersboten in de haven van Rovinj tot typische gerechten uit Midden-Istrië en de Byzantijnse Basiliek in Poreč: je krijgt echt een goed beeld van onze regio.”

Je start in Bale, een bergdorp waar je slentert over geplaveide stegen die omzoomd zijn met middeleeuwse stenen huizen en Venetiaanse paleizen en kerken. Je dwaalt door het doolhof aan smalle straten van de oude binnenstad, voordat je koers zet naar Rovinj aan de Adriatische Zee. Hier is de Venetiaanse invloed alom aanwezig. Rovinj ligt op een eivormig schiereiland en is een schatkamer vol kronkelige straatjes die leiden naar de barokke kerk van Sint Eufemia, waarvan je al van ver de elegante klokkentoren ziet.

Dan ga je naar het gehucht Grzini voor een typische Istrische lunch op het platteland. En na de maaltijd keer je terug naar de kust om Poreč te verkennen. Deze oude stad op een landtong is nu net zo beroemd om zijn moderne bars en clubs als zijn Eufrasiusbasiliek, een van de best bewaarde monumenten uit de vroeg-Byzantijnse tijd in het hele Middellandse Zeegebied. Niet voor niets een werelderfgoed van UNESCO.

    De gids gaf ons heel veel informatie tijdens de stadstour maar ook al voor- info in de busrit naar de steden toe. Bij de Istrie lunch was het lekker geweest om bij het zoete toetje ( soort mini oliebolletjes) nog een kopje koffie of thee te krijgen geserveerd

    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.

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.
