Opatija, often called the Pearl of the Adriatic, is a charming coastal town known for elegant Austro-Hungarian villas, lush parks, and its iconic seaside promenade. During our visit, you’ll walk the famous Lungomare, enjoy panoramic views of Kvarner Bay, and see Opatija’s most recognizable landmark -the Maiden with the Seagull. We also explore Villa Angiolina and its beautiful botanical park, along with the town’s historic hotels and seaside architecture that reflect its long tradition as a luxurious European retreat.

Pula is a vibrant coastal city best known for its impressive Roman heritage and lively Mediterranean atmosphere. The highlight of your visit is the magnificent Pula Arena - one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. As we explore the old town, you’ll also see the Arch of the Sergii, the Temple of Augustus, the Forum, and charming stone streets filled with cafés and local boutiques.

During the tour, we take a relaxing break for lunch at a local restaurant where you can enjoy traditional Istrian dishes, fresh seafood, or a light Mediterranean meal.

The tasting experience is a true highlight of the day, offering an authentic introduction to Istria’s award-winning wines and premium olive oils. Set in a peaceful countryside estate, the winery combines tradition, family craftsmanship, and modern techniques to create exceptional local flavors.

During the visit, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of several carefully selected wines- from refreshing whites to rich reds each presented with the story behind its origin, terroir, and unique character. Alongside the wines, you’ll sample high-quality extra virgin olive oils, learning how to recognize aromas, textures, and tasting profiles that make Istrian olive oil among the best in the world.

The experience is rounded off with a relaxed atmosphere, beautiful vineyard views, and small local bites that perfectly complement the tasting. It’s an immersive and enjoyable way to discover Istria’s culinary heritage and connect with the people who keep the tradition alive.

Rovinj is one of the most picturesque towns on the Adriatic, known for its colorful old town, narrow cobblestone streets, and vibrant seaside atmosphere. As we explore the historic center, you’ll wander through charming alleyways, art studios, and lively squares that reflect the town’s Venetian heritage. The highlight of the visit is the Church of St. Euphemia, perched at the top of the hill and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and archipelago.

With fishing boats lining the harbor, cafés by the waterfront, and romantic stone houses rising directly from the sea, Rovinj perfectly captures the essence of Istria - authentic, inspiring, and full of character. Whether you’re discovering local shops or simply enjoying the coastal scenery, Rovinj is a place that stays with you long after your visit.
