Istria

Enjoy the green oasis with many hills, vineyards, olive groves and medieval towns. Discover Hum the Guinness World Record holder for the smallest town in the world, the centre of Glagolitic alphabet and beginnings of Croatian medieval literacy while bracing well-known homemade wine and brandy. Motovun and Pazin, gentle and romantic small Istrian towns, will fascinate you with their history and ancient stories through well known legends and myths. Climb the longest Istrian staircase, which dates back to the Middle Ages, to the top of the Motovun hill and enjoy the spectacular view on the Mirna River valley. Taste the truffles from the famous Motovun forest while enjoying the unique Istrian wines, red wine Teran and white wine Malvasia. Visit and experience the heart of Istria – Pazin, its castle and river Pazincica that on its flow to Pazin form large and small cascades, small waterfalls and ponds, some of which are suitable for summer swimming. Do not miss the view into the crater Pazin pit, 130 meters beneath the walls of the castle, where the river ends its over ground stream.
