Dive into a fascinating underwater world

The crystal-clear waters of the Croatian Adriatic are perfect for diving. Istria is home to numerous diving schools that offer courses for beginners and advanced divers. Travellers can also book boat trips to the best diving spots. On a tour to Cape Rakovica in Rabac, divers will come across the remains of the ancient Roman shipwreck Amphora. The island of San Giovanni off the coast of Porec is also particularly good for diving.

Exploring Istria by bike

Discovering the picturesque coast or the hilly landscape of central Istria by bike is an unforgettable experience for many. From easy cycle routes for families to off-road trails for mountain bikers, the choice is huge. The cycle routes around Umag and Novigrad, which lead past historical sights and beautiful bays, are particularly worth seeing.

The Venice of Croatia

In Rovinj, visitors feel instantly transported to Italy. The narrow winding alleyways, the colourful clothes hanging on the washing lines and romantic courtyards give the harbour town a Venetian flair. The old town rises deep into the azure Adriatic, with the majestic Church of St Euphemia in the centre. There is a legend surrounding the Baroque-style church: In the year 800, a marble sarcophagus is said to have been washed up on the coast of Rovinj on a stormy night. It contained the mortal remains of Euphemia, who is revered throughout Istria today.

The amphitheatre of Pula

Another pearl on the Croatian Adriatic is the city of Pula. It boasts an impressive amphitheatre, which was built under Emperor Augustus. Other sights include a Sergian arch from antiquity, the Temple of Augustus and the Archaeological Museum of Istria with over 3,000 exhibits from the Roman, Greek and medieval history of the region.
