Best time to visit: April – November
Go for this: Discover Picturesque town of Rovinj. Once a fishermen village, it now offers warm Mediterranean settings to its visitors. Wander around the winding cobblestone streets and delightful passages – the symbols of the most “photogenic town in Adriatic”.
But try this: Reveal secrets of 3000 years of history of Pula and it’s the biggest star, the majestic Roman Amphitheatre, also called the Arena of Pula. Built in the 1st century AD, at the same time as the Colosseum in Rome, it was once the site of gladiator fights and knights’ tournaments. Get lost in the mediaeval alleyways of artsy Groznjan, shop for unique souvenirs and immerse yourself in awe-inspiring panoramic views.
Favorite guest experience: Truffle hunting with local family who are a third generation of truffle hunters. Let their trained truffle dogs take you into the family’s private woods and enjoy intact nature around you. After the truffle hunt, join the mum of the family and use the catch of the day to make your lunch.
