Istria
Why go to Istria
Istria in Croatia has built its reputation on long lunches that drift into the evening and sunset views from a harbourside bar — the kind of place that rewards slowing down rather than rushing between sights. Hilltop villages and truffle-hunting inland from the coast.
Flights land at PUY airport, and the pace on the ground is generally unhurried — expect the day to be built around the beach, with everything else fitted in around it. Istria is well suited to both a short week away and a longer, slower two-week stay.
