Do you have a property to rent out in Croatia? Organized tourism in Istria goes back to the Romans, when emperor Vespasian, for the entertainment of that time, built the amphitheater (Arena) in Pula. During the reign of Austro-Hungarian Empire in (1866), Austrian and Hungarian royalty and aristocracy started visiting local resorts and discovered Poreč. Significant efforts were made after World War II to develop the tourist infrastructure and to accentuate its importance. In combination with the natural beauties, rich history and cultural heritage, investments paid off and resulted in highly developed, competitive service all along the western coast in Poreč, Pula, Rovinj, Umag, Novigrad, and Vrsar. In the eastern part, as part of another county, there are resorts like Rabac, Opatija. Istria was and still is the most important tourist destination in Croatia, hosting the western and central European visitors. Area is the most visited tourist region with 27% of all visitors and 35% of time spent in all of Croatia. |

Croatia Holidays
Istria borders Slovenia and has a maritime border with Italy. This peninsula is the most popular destination for foreign visitors to Croatia. Umag and Porec continually top the annual poll of best holiday resorts in Croatia, as organised by the Croatian National Tourist Board and Croatian TV. Most visitors arrive by car, but you can fly in to Pula Airport to where Ryanair have recently commenced flights to. Istria is also easily reachable from Trieste or Venice Treviso airports, where Ryanair fly to, or Venice Marco Polo airport, where Easyjet fly to.
Pula
Situated near the base of the Istrian peninsula, the
population of Pula is just over 62,000, making it the largest
city in Istria. One of the most famous sights in the whole of
Croatia is the Roman amphitheatre in Pula, which has been well
preserved. However, it is likely that Pula originated even before
the Roman era, with local findings showing the history of Pula
going back more than 3,000 years. As well as being under Venetian
rule, Pula also played an important role in the Habsburg Empire
as it was proclaimed the chief port of the Empire in 1853, and
had a large German and Italian population. In 1915 it was occupied
by Italy and the rights of Croatian inhabitants were not respected.
It was only in 1947 that it became a part of Croatia in Yugoslavia.
The main sight is, of course, the amphitheatre. Built during the 1st century AD, the three-story amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world. It hosts the Pula Opera Festival in the summer and is also used for other events during the year. Other sights include the Triumphal arch of the Sergii, the Temple of Augustus, the Cathedral and the Franciscan Church and Monastery.
The area code is 052.
Pula Tourist Office is situated at Forum 3, tel: 052 219 197, fax 052 211 855, email: tz-pula@pu.htnet.hr.
For more on Pula, point your browser to the City of Pula website, or see the Tourism Office Pula.
Umag
Umag and its riviera (which is about 20km long) is very
popular. The old town in Umag has attractive and narrow, cobbled
streets. The coast is full of pretty little bays and there are
some 60,000 hotel beds and those in private accommodation here.
There are also many camping and caravan sites along the coast,
which are well run and highly recommended for an inexpensive holiday.
Umag is also well known for its marina and the international tennis
centre which hosts the Croatian
Open every July.
The Tourist Office in Umag is at Trgovacka 6, tel: 052 741 363, fax: 052 741 157, email: tz-grada-umaga@pu.htnet.hr.
On the web, more information can be found at the Town of Umag website, the Umag Tourist Office website and here.
Porec
This is the most popular holiday resort in Istria and
has frequently been proclaimed the top resort in Croatia by the
Croatian National Tourist Office. There are over 100,000 beds
available in the area, but hotels and other facilities are widely
spread so the place never feels too crowded.
A visit to the old town (Porec is 2,000 years old) is a must, due to its numerous historical sites, particularly the 6th century Euphrasian Basilica which is wonderfully preserved and is well known for its beautiful gold mosaics. The entry to the church is free, although a small donation is much appreciated.
The main tourist areas are two bays south of the town, called Zelena (Green) and Plava (Blue) Laguna (lagoon). They are almost like small towns, with several hotels in each, as well as camping, marina, shopping and entertainment areas. Most visitors stay in one of the two.
The tourist office is located at Zagrebacka 9, tel: 052 451 293, fax: 052 434 160.
Rovinj
This is a charmingly picturesque town with yet more narrow,
cobbled streets! It is famous for its St. Euphemia Cathedral with
the highest church tower in Istria, at 60 metres high. Rovinj
was originally an island, but 250 years ago the narrow channel,
which separated it from the mainland, was filled in. It is one
of our favourite destinations on the Croatian Adriatic, particularly
as it is very lively with numerous cafes and restaurants, galleries
and an active fishing port, so in the morning you can watch the
fishermen come in as you have your breakfast.
For places to see, definitely go to the cathedral of St. Euphemia (built in 1736) which is the largest Baroque building in Istria, the town's museum and Rovinj Aquarium.
For places to stay, we can recommend the centrally-located, but moderately priced, Hotel Adriatic. There are also numerous campsites dotted in and around Rovinj.
The tourist office is located at P. Budicina 12, tel: 052 811 566, fax: 052 816 007, email: tzgrovinj@tzgrovinj.hr.
For more, see the Rovinj Tourist Office website or Rovinj.net.
There is also a wealth of information at Rovinj.info, including details on private accommodation, property, holiday houses and Rovinj gastronomic delights, beaches and attractions!
Istrian gastronomy is known by its huge diversity. Pasta, gnocchi, risotto and polenta, as well as its high-quality vegetables (which can be found, at a cheap price, in any of the numerous open-air markets present in almost every Istrian town), accompany main dishes, as an Italian heritage. Especially, Istrian peppers have international recognition.
At the coast, fresh fish and seafood are a tradition. Scampi is the favourite, together with squid and sole. In the inland, air-cured ham (Prsut) and sausages are the highlights.
But the gastronomic pearl is no doubt the truffles. After the beginning of the season, in late September, truffles can be found accompanying any dish and sauce. Especially recommended is pasta with truffles. Also, olive oil with truffles is a typical product of the region.
Istria is a land of vineyards. Wines are sweet and fruity, with a wide variety of grapes present, such as white malvasia, red teran and muscat. The most famous vineyard area is Kalavojna, on the Eastern coast.
Regional liquor grappa is widely produced in here, with several varieties available.
