Situated in the north of Croatia, the Istrian Riviera is the largest peninsula in the Adriatic region. The nearest of Croatia's regions to Western Europe, it is often compared to Italy or France.
The Istrian Rivieria has a delightful mixture of old cities and ancient towns perched high above vast green fields and vineyards, modern tourist centres, secluded bays, coves, inlets and beautiful pebble beaches that gently shelve into the clear waters of the Adriatic.
South of Istria is Kvarner (Opatija Riviera), with its celebrated tourist centre Opatija, a huge favourite of the European elite and aristocracy, and the beautiful resort of Lovran.
While visiting this stunning part of Croatia do make sure to take part in the great value full-day excursions to the romantic city of Venice for a chance to enjoy its magnificent sights and take a gondola along the canals. Please ask your local representative for more information about these and other excursions.
Book a holiday to Croatia and discover either the charming towns of Rovinj, Porec, Vrsar, Novi Grad, Umag, Pula and Opatija. |
