Nearby Motovun is equally enchanting, perched above the Mirna River and surrounded by vineyards and forests. Its medieval atmosphere and stunning scenery make it one of Istria’s most iconic destinations.
Along the coast, Novigrad combines historic charm with a relaxed seaside atmosphere. Once a fishing village, it now offers excellent restaurants, lively cafés, and fascinating heritage sites, including the Church of St Pelagio and St Maxim.
Further south, Poreč and Rovinj are among Istria’s most popular towns. Poreč boasts a UNESCO-listed basilica, atmospheric old streets, and vibrant dining, while Rovinj charms visitors with its colourful harbour, cobbled lanes, boutique shops, and spectacular views from the Church of St Euphemia, making it a must-visit during your stay.
