Istria Unveiled

Trace the soul of Istria, Croatia’s most captivating peninsula, where ancient Roman grandeur, coastal romance, and rustic elegance come together in a single day of exploration and indulgence.

Begin in Pula, Istria’s cultural and urban center, where the spectacular Roman Arena — among the best-preserved amphitheaters in the world — anchors a city rich in imperial history. Wander past striking monuments such as the Triumphal Arch of the Sergi, the Twin Gates, and the Temple of Augustus, each offering a window into centuries past.

Continue to the seaside jewel of Rovinj, often called the most romantic town in Croatia. Its cobbled alleys, pastel façades, and hilltop church lead to sweeping views of the Adriatic, while its boutique hotels and Michelin-starred cuisine attract travelers seeking refined coastal beauty.

From there, head inland to Bale, a lesser-known hilltop town wrapped in vineyards and olive groves. Its quiet charm is matched by its Venetian Gothic architecture, stone streets, and a peaceful ambiance that feels worlds away from the coast.

Conclude your journey with a guided Istrian olive oil tasting, sampling some of the finest extra virgin oils in the world — the perfect finish to a day shaped by heritage, landscape, and flavor.
