Description
Join us for an eight night exploration of the beautiful Istrian coast combined with visits to the region’s bucolic interior of rolling hills, fertile plains and hilltop villages whilst accompanied by a small group of like-minded travelers.
We will discover the charming island of Mali Losinj, the fascinating Brijuni Islands and travel inland to an area of disarming beauty where we explore the village of Motovun in the middle of truffle territory, which has arguably the best views of the Istrian interior from its ramparts. Whilst in Pula, we will visit one of the best preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world and the strong Venetian influence on the region will be evident during our exploration of Cres. For those who enjoy discovering Medieval towns, exploring Roman sites and cruising amongst some of the world’s most beautiful coastal scenery this itinerary will surely appeal.
Istria is acclaimed for its gastronomy and we will enjoy some lunches ashore to experience the local cuisine as well as visits to some vineyards to taste the wines typical of the area. We will be moored each night allowing for the opportunity to experience the atmospheric ports in their evening splendour and to dine ashore independently on some evenings.
