The tour begins in Zagreb, with the first stop in Opatija, a popular destination on the Kvarner coast, also known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Opatija is famous for its elegant villas, the beautiful Lungomare seaside promenade, and its stunning parks.
You will enjoy a relaxing walk along the coast, taking in wonderful views of the sea and surrounding mountains, while discovering why Opatija was one of the favorite destinations of European aristocracy in the 19th century. Here, you will also have time to enjoy a coffee or taste local specialties at one of the many seaside restaurants.
After Opatija, the journey continues to Pula, a city renowned for its rich Roman heritage. Pula is home to one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world – the Pula Arena – an unmissable attraction for every visitor.
You will discover the city’s most important cultural and historical landmarks, including the Forum, the Temple of Augustus, and other impressive Roman remains that reflect Pula’s long and fascinating history. The city is also well known for its marinas and beautiful coastline, giving you time to enjoy the sea views before continuing to the next destination – Rovinj.
The third destination on the tour is Rovinj, one of the most beautiful towns on the Adriatic, located on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula. Rovinj captivates visitors at first sight with its narrow cobblestone streets, colorful houses, and charming Old Town rising toward the Church of St. Euphemia – the city’s most famous landmark.
You will stroll through the historic center and experience its unique atmosphere, browse shops offering local souvenirs, and discover small art galleries along the way. Rovinj is a true paradise for photographers, as almost every corner reveals another breathtaking view.
After exploring Rovinj, it is time for the gourmet part of the tour – a visit to nearby olive groves and wineries, where you will enjoy a tasting of Istrian wines and premium olive oils.
You will have the opportunity to taste some of Istria’s most renowned wines, such as Malvazija and Teran, known for their distinctive aromas and flavors shaped by the unique Istrian terroir. The olive oil tasting will be an experience of its own, as Istria is famous for producing some of the finest olive oils in the world.
You will learn more about the production process, different olive varieties, harvesting methods, and traditional and modern processing techniques. This is the perfect opportunity to experience the authentic flavors of Istria – and perhaps take home a bottle of wine or olive oil as a special souvenir from this unforgettable journey.
