Welcome to Istria
On the Slovenian border to the north-west of Croatia sits the heart-shaped peninsula of Istria. To avid gastronomers, its arable landscape is renowned for high quality fine wines, fresh seafood and rich olive oils. The region is braided with rivers that gush and tumble through blissful valleys, emerging into a rugged coastline, feeding into the Adriatic Sea. The versatile national affiliations of Istrian natives make them unique to Croatia and most certainly, in the world too. These influences can be witnessed through the local region’s culture, cuisine and architecture.
