Retken kuvaus

Istria on houkutteleva yhdistelmä vanhoja merenrantakaupunkeja, viiniköynnösten peittämää maaseutua ja kukkulan laella sijaitsevia kyliä. Tällä kokopäiväretkellä maisemat, hyvä viini ja herkulliset ruoat kilpailevat huomiostasi. Tutustut historialliseen Balen kylään sekä Rovinjin ja Porečin rantakohteisiin. Nautit myös maukkaan lounaan maaseudulla ravintola Grzinissä. Mauro, yksi asiantuntevista paikallisoppaistamme, sanoo: "Tälle kierrokselle mahtuu kaikenlaista – Rovinjin satamassa keikkuvat perinteiset Batana-kalastusveneet, Keski-Istrian tyypilliset herkut ja Porečin bysanttilainen kirkko."

Seikkailu alkaa Balesta, kukkulan laella sijaitsevasta kylästä, jonka kapeilla mukulakivikujilla on keskiaikaisia kivitaloja ja venetsialaisia palatseja ja kirkkoja. Kiertele sen sokkeloisessa vanhassa kaupungissa, ennen kuin jatkat matkaasi Adrianmeren rannalla sijaitsevaan Rovinjin kaupunkiin. Se on munanmuotoisella niemimaalla sijaitseva kiemurtelevien katujen aarreaitta, jonka tiet johtavat Pyhän Eufemian barokkikirkolle, jonka venetsialainen kellotorni hallitsee taivaanrantaa.

Sen jälkeen matka jatkuu Grzinin kylään, jossa nautit tyypillisen istrialaislounaan maaseudulla. Täältä palaamme takaisin rannikolle Poreciin. Tämä muinainen kaupunki on nykyään yhtä kuuluisa moderneista baareistaan ja klubeistaan kuin Unescon maailmanperintökohteeksi listatusta Eufrasiuksen basilikastaan, joka on yksi koko Välimeren alueen kauneimmin säilyneistä varhaisbysanttilaisen taiteen muistomerkeistä sekä Unescon maailmanperintökohde.

Istrian Hilltop Villages Tour with Local Speciality Tasting

Legend has it that in the Mirna valley lived giants who each built a hilltop hamlet. And this tour takes you to two of them. Istria's green hills are a place of mythical beauty, and nowhere more so than in the fairytale villages of Grožnjan and Oprtalj. Ivana, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Grožnjan was suffering from depopulation in the middle of the 20th century, so artists and musicians were encouraged to come and use its empty houses as studios. Today, there are about 40 ateliers and a popular summer music festival. Adding to the cultural mix, both villages have strong Italian communities.'Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through Istria's hills to Grožnjan – the artists' colony straddling a ridge. Wander its cluster of lanes lined with handsome stone-built homes, looking out for ancient churches and palaces. If you like arty souvenirs, the many galleries and shops are a great place to browse for handmade gifts such as jewellery, prints, textiles and fine art.Next, it's time to take a break with a tasting of local Istrian delicacies, along with wine and olive oil at a typical tavern. Rounding off the day is a visit to peaceful Oprtalj. With a long history stretching back to Roman times, there's a clutch of historic buildings to admire, including the Venetian loggia and the 16th century St George's church, located at the top of the hill overlooking the town. When you arrive at Oprtalj, your guide will show you around steep stone alleys boasting countryside views.

You'll also tuck into a tasty lunch at a countryside restaurant in Grzini. Mauro, one of our expert local guides, says "we pack lots in on this tour.

Wander the mazy old town before heading to Rovinj on the Adriatic coast, where the Venetian influence is everywhere. Occupying an egg-shaped peninsula, it's a treasure trove of winding streets that lead to the baroque Church of St Euphemia, whose slender belfry dominates the skyline.Then it's time to make our way to the hamlet of Grzini to feast on a typical Istrian lunch in the countryside, and after your meal we'll swing back to the coast to explore Poreč.

Ancient Istria Tour from Rovinj including Pula and Lunch

At the crossroads between Latin and Slavic Europe, Istria offers up the best of both worlds. It packs a lot into its small territory, so this tour shows off the best bits – rustic villages, Roman ruins, Byzantine basilicas and a taste of its world-class food scene. You'll visit Pula, Gržini and Poreč, enjoying scenic landscapes between stops. Karla, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll get to see a side of Istria that most visitors miss when you visit Gržini village for a homemade lunch. You'll taste maneštra – a traditional Istrian country dish – and drink malvazija, the ‘queen' of Istrian wines, in a farm-to-table restaurant.'Kick off the day in Pula, spread around a bay in the south of the peninsula. This storied town is home to a well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, but that's just the tip of the iceberg – Pula boasts a wealth of ancient relics. Must-sees include the Temple of Augustus and the triumphal arch, while there are also Byzantine and baroque churches as well as a Habsburg fortress.Next, we'll head inland to the hamlet of Gržini for a traditional Istrian lunch, washed down with local wine, before returning to the coast to explore Poreč. Set on a compact headland, we'll walk the old Roman streets of Decumanus and Cardo Maximus up to the most important monument in town – the Euphrasian basilica, one of the most beautifully preserved monuments of early Byzantine art in the Mediterranean, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
