What you can expect from Central Istria

If you’re looking for a real getaway in a place of untouched nature, spectacular gastronomy and countless historical landmarks, Central Istria will be the perfect spot for your next holiday. This part of the Istrian peninsula is known for medieval towns, vineyards and olive groves, truffle “hunting”, and incredible landscapes, because of which some call it the Croatian Tuscany. Because of its rich offer, it is an ideal place to visit not just during summer months, but all year round.

Pazin is the region's largest city, where you can visit its castle situated on a 100 meter cliff, as well as the Pazin cave and the thrilling zip-line that goes right above it. Other prominent spots in Central Istria is Motovun, the ancient hilltop town with amazing views of the Mirna river valley, the source of delicious Istrian truffles.

While here, you may also want to visit Hum, the smallest city in the world, with around 30 permanent inhabitants. Its architecture dates back all the way to the 11th century, and is one of the most popular places to visit in Istria. Not very far from Hum you’ll find Grožnjan, another medieval hilltop town, best known for dozens of galleries from local artists, and some breathtaking views of the valley and the nearby Adriatic coast.

While exploring these landmarks of Central Istria, you’ll also get a chance to enjoy some spectacular food and wines. Istrian cuisine is unique and features some delicious ingredients such as homemade pasta, white and black truffles, fresh seafood and the endemic Boškarin kettle. This region of Croatia also produces some of the world’s best wines, so make sure to pair your Istrian delicacies with local wine varieties of Malvazija and Teran.

All in all, visiting Central Istria is an experience you don’t want to miss!
