A small northern section belongs to Slovenia and a very small part to Italy.
It is known for: A beautiful, diverse coastline with clear water, pebble beaches, and romantic coastal towns such as Rovinj, Poreč, Pula (with its Roman amphitheater), and Novigrad.
A green, hilly interior with medieval hilltop villages (Motovun, Grožnjan, Hum), olive groves, vineyards, and truffle forests (Istria is famous for its white truffles).
Excellent gastronomy: olive oil, wine, seafood, truffles, and prosciutto.
A Mediterranean climate, abundant sunshine, and a mix of Roman, Venetian, and Austro-Hungarian influences in its architecture and history.
In short: Istria is an ideal mix of sun, sea, culture, delicious food, and unspoiled nature – one of Croatia's most popular holiday destinations, but often quieter than the Dalmatian coast.
