Istria
Istria blends Italianate charm with Croatian Adriatic beauty. Rovinj’s pastel harbor, Pula’s intact Roman arena, and Poreč’s Byzantine basilica anchor a coast of pebble beaches, truffle country inland, and family-friendly resorts. Less crowded than central Dalmatia, Istria rewards slow travel and seafood konobas.
