The old town is a knot of limestone streets – worth getting lost […]

With charming port towns, verdant countryside and a sparkling coastline, the Dalmatian Coast – on the western edge of Croatia – has become a highly sought-after holiday destination.

The rugged Istrian coast is peppered with charming fishing towns and elegant Italianesque ports boasting some of the country’s best cuisine. Look closer, and you’ll discover this Adriatic gem is home […]

While Istria’s world-class gastronomy and enchanting landscape make it the ultimate destination for just sitting back and taking it all in, it also has a plethora of sights and activities to entertain the whole family.

But, tear yourself away from the Istrian coast, through the vineyards, olive groves, and dense forests, and you will discover brilliantly […]
