    Holidays to the Istrian Riviera offer unblemished shoreline, with islands covered in pine trees. The area is a peninsula in the north of Croatia, just below the Slovenian border. It's popular with foodies, and known for its rolling hills and fertile plains. Istria boasts national parks, Roman ruins and traditional hilltop villages which have escaped the trappings of commercialism.

    Historical Croatia

    Over the centuries, the Istrian Riviera has changed hands numerous times. Various empires have wanted to conquer this piece of Croatia’s Adriatic coast, and it’s easy to see why. The area’s long and colourful history has contributed to the interesting culture that you’ll see today.

    Impressive coastline

    The Istrian Riviera boasts more than 250 kilometres of shoreline, and the look and feel of it varies depending on which area you visit. Near the town of Rovinj, for example, the tiny coves around Lone Bay are fun to explore. You'll find shade in the seaside forest and get the chance to swim in the sea from the gravel beach. In Porec, on the other hand, the pebbled beaches creep up to a town filled with historical treasures. One such treasure is the Euphrasian Basilica, a World Heritage Site. In Pula, check out the amphitheatre where gladiators used to fight.

    Island hopping

    If you head to the east coast of Istria, you’ll find it easy to visit some of Croatia’s most beautiful islands. From Rijeka, you can hop on a ferry to Cres, Krk and Rab. Not only will you find the country’s trademark white beaches on these islands, but you’ll also find mountain ranges and national parks. Whether you want to lay on the sand or hike up a mountain and see the view from the top, the Istrian Riviera will make an ideal base.
