Dit kun je verwachten

De kust van de Kvarnerbaai is bezaaid met mooie dorpen en historische plekken. Op deze tour zie je twee van de meest in het oog springende locaties - het mooie kustdorp Lovran en de kosmopolitische badplaats Opatija. Josip, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "Opatija staat bekend om zijn pastelkleurige villa's en botanische tuinen. Het was in de gouden jaren van het Oostenrijks-Hongaarse Rijk dé place to be. Stap in de voetsporen van koningen en keizers en kuier langs de Lungomare”.

Eerst bezoek je het mooie Lovran. Je hebt de tijd aan jezelf om door de smalle straten van de oude wijk te slenteren. Lovran ontwikkelde zich als toeristische bestemming aan het eind van de 19e eeuw, toen er verschillende grote hotels en villa's verrezen. Het was een van de topresorts in wat toen bekend stond als de Oostenrijkse Rivièra. Je verkent de oude binnenstad, bekijkt de kleine jachthaven en proeft lokale specialiteiten met op de achtergrond traditionele livemuziek.

Dan ga je naar de elegante badplaats Opatija. Vroeger was dit een eenvoudig vissersdorp, totdat leden van de aristocratie halverwege de 19e eeuw deze plek ontdekte en luxueuze villa's begonnen te bouwen. En al snel kwamen royalty's hier in de wintermaanden om de milde zeelucht op te snuiven. De grandeur van dit verleden is nu nog steeds zichtbaar. Josip zegt: "Proef de koninklijke sfeer in het Park Angiolina, dat de eerste hier gebouwde vakantievilla omringt. Of ga naar de boulevard aan zee. En neem vooral de tijd om over de markt te struinen, waar je een opvangt van het lokale leven”.

Ancient Istria tour from Pula including Bale, Rovinj and Poreč

Istria is an enticing mix of ancient seaside towns, vine-clad countryside and hilltop villages. Island views, good wine and delicious dishes vie for your attention. This full-day tour takes in some of Istria's star turns, including the historic village of Bale and the seaside gems of Rovinj and Poreč. You'll also tuck into a tasty lunch at a countryside restaurant in Grzini. Mauro, one of our expert local guides, says "we pack lots in on this tour. From traditional Batana fishing boats bobbing at the port in Rovinj to enjoying some typical dishes of Central Istria, plus the Byzantine Basilica in Poreč, you'll get a true insight into our region."Your adventure kicks off in Bale, a hilltop village of narrow cobbled alleys lined with medieval stone houses and Venetian palaces and churches. Wander the mazy old town before heading to Rovinj on the Adriatic coast, where the Venetian influence is everywhere. Occupying an egg-shaped peninsula, it's a treasure trove of winding streets that lead to the baroque Church of St Euphemia, whose slender belfry dominates the skyline.Then it's time to make our way to the hamlet of Grzini to feast on a typical Istrian lunch in the countryside, and after your meal we'll swing back to the coast to explore Poreč. This ancient town on a headland is now as famed for its modern bars and clubs as its Euphrasian Basilica, one of the most beautifully preserved monuments of Early Byzantine art in the whole of 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.

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.
