Discover Diverse Northern Adriatic
Heart-shaped Istria with its capital Pula, is among most popular tourist destinations in Croatia. Numerous camping resorts, tidy pebbled beaches, natural parks, well-preserved nature and colorful attractions for kids offer amazing opportunities for a vacation with your loved ones.
Northern Adriatic gained the popularity on the account of being so close to Italy and most of central European countries. And it is easy reachable by car. The Italian influence can be spotted on almost every corner so it is no coincidence that Istria is often called "Croatian Tuscany".
Narrow stony streets of historic towns, stunning Venetian fronts and monumental architecture of Roman cities, untouched nature of marine national parks, leisurely temperament of coastal villages and superb food delicacies of this region will certainly inspire you to relive the epic days of ancient cities and rediscover the secret routes of the word-known Croatian mariners.
