Private accommodation in Istra, Istria

Pula, the pearl of the Mediterranean, celebrated the 3000 years of its glorious past as a beauty in which civilisations meet and new friendships create unforgettable memories. Pula and its surroundings can host more than 50.000 visitors per day in exquisite hotels, apartment complexes and private accommodation. Warm summer nights bring young and old, locals and visitors into streets of this beautiful town. Involved in the mixture of many world languages and pleasant music, enjoying interesting theatre plays and exhibitions of renowed artists, everybody can find his own pleasure in Pula's summer.

Rovinj is considered by many to be the most photogenic, romantic and artistic of towns. The Baroque church of St. Euphemia provides the town with its characteristic bell tower silhouette. The whole coastal region, along with 22 islands, is a protected natural haven, which can be seen in its entirety via a boat. The two-day festival of "Rovinjska noc" (Rovinj Night) held in the middle of August, is a special experience, with its rich cultural entertainment and fine cuisine.

A town distinguished by its culturally historical monuments, Poreč is the best adorned and best-landscaped tourist town in the whole of Croatia. The crowning glory of its rich cultural heritage is St. Euphrasius Basilica, dating from the 6th century A.D., where concerts of classical music are held during the summer months. The nearby Island of St. Nikola can be reached in only a few minutes, both night and day, via excursion boats, or even by swimming. The traditional Choral Festival, held on the 3rd of June, and Jazz Nights in July and August, also deserve special mention.

Situated 10 km from Pula, Medulin is easily recognisable by its church with two white towers rising above the town and in whose hinterland the ancient town of Nezaktiu, the seat of the Histrian King Epulon, was discovered. The Medulin archipelago consists of eleven uninhabited islets and on an excursion to visit them you can experience the magic and the attractions of unspoiled nature. Cape Kamenjak, situated at the base of Premantura, is a protected natural habitat with widely popular swimming and cycling areas.

Located in the north-west of Istria, Umag is Croatia's unique European entry-exit point, only 40 km from Trieste. The 18th-century Barocue church of St. Marija dominates the old town centre. Umag has been known as Istria's sporting centre for many years, being host to the ATP tournament and temporary home to numerous world tennis stars in July. In Umag's hinterland are little-known, hidden tourist attractions, such as mountaineering and cave axploration. For those with an equestrian bent there is also a riding centre in Umag. [>>>>>]
