Istria

Located on the western part of the country, between the Adriatic Sea and the Kvarner Gulf, Istria is the location where gourmet food and wine, beautiful landscapes and ancient history meet in one place. Warm summers and mild winters characterize the climate of the region, that from typically Mediterranean along the coast gradually changes into continental as you go towards the Istrian inland hills. The Istrian hinterland, also known as the Tuscany of Croatia for its rolling hills filled with vineyards and olive trees, offers many opportunities for nature lovers that want to enjoy the outdoors.
