Between golden olive groves and the open sea — Tar-Vabriga
Set on a low hill between Novigrad and Poreč, Tar-Vabriga feels suspended between land and sea: silvery olive groves to the east, wide Adriatic vistas to the west. Long famed for producing Europe’s northernmost extra-virgin olive oil, the villages still measure seasons by the harvest — inviting visitors to taste oils that once filled Roman amphorae bound for imperial tables.
Wander quiet lanes lined with stone houses, pause for espresso in a sunlit piazza, or follow cycling paths that thread through vineyards down to the sea. You’ll find small cellars offering Malvasia tastings and evening folklore concerts on the church square — authentic moments that anchor you to the peninsula’s living tradition.

The Poreč riviera and Lanterna Bay — rich history on a sapphire horizon
Framed by ancient Roman streets and the shimmering Adriatic, the Poreč Riviera is a place where history and seaside leisure share the same sun-washed stage — where Roman mosaics share the view with glinting yacht masts.
Spend a morning tracing 2,000 years of history — from the Euphrasian Basilica’s golden apse to Venetian-era palazzi — then sail across to the islet of St. Nicholas for an afternoon beneath striped lighthouse cliffs. Sunset brings open-air galleries, jazz in a seventh-century lapidarium, and waterfront promenades where the past feels gracefully present.

Beaches, coves, and Adriatic delights
The coastline around Tar offers a painter’s palette of beaches: pebble shallows ideal for family swims, sun-warmed rock shelves, and pine-framed coves where the sea turns a deeper shade of blue. For those drawn to more secluded escapes, the coastline offers hidden, quiet coves — best explored by kayak.
Early risers can share the shoreline only with herons and fishermen casting nets from traditional batana boats, while late afternoon — among other activities — brings snorkelling above seagrass meadows and picnicking beneath wild fig trees. Feel free to pick your own mood of gentle discovery.

Istria's culinary soundtrack
As evening light settles over the vineyards, Istria’s kitchen awakens: truffle shavings over handmade fuži, scampi pulled that morning from Lim Fjord, and Malvasia chilled just enough to catch the peach notes. Every bite hums with the region’s quiet confidence in land and sea.
Follow the Olive Oil and Wine Roads to boutique producers, where you’ll taste varietals rarely exported beyond the peninsula. Michelin-distinguished restaurants now sit comfortably beside konobas with wood-fired hearths, offering a continuum of flavour that ranges from rustic to refined — yet always unmistakably Istrian.

The decrescendo of Istrian evenings
When twilight colours the sky in lavender and ochre, the peninsula slows to a peaceful hush. Spa rituals with rosemary-infused oils, a final swim beneath emerging stars, and the distant murmur of cicadas create a gentle cadence for the night ahead.
Even in stillness, Istria offers subtle invitations to linger just a little longer. Take a moonlit stroll through vine-covered hills, join a seasonal open-air concert in a medieval square, or simply recline on your terrace with a glass of Teran as constellations rise over the sea.
