Additional Information

Spend a day journeying through Istria’s coastal and inland highlights. Accompany me as we explore the rich history, culture and everyday life of the hilltop settlements of Motovun, Groznjan and the scenic coastal city of Poreč.

Understand the contrasting lifestyles between the coast and the hinterland, noticing the dissimilarities in cuisine, indigenous customs and inhabitants. We’ll stop by a leading truffle cultivator, offering you a chance to sample the magical condiment that has defined Istrian hinterland’s culinary scene.

While appreciating the stunning vistas of the land and the sea, we’ll be having lunch at a traditional local tavern (konoba), where the menu features freshly-picked produce from the owner’s personal garden. (Please note, lunch is not covered in the tour’s cost)

Our tour will include walking around the ancient town of Poreč, wandering its narrow alleyways paved with cobblestones, a legacy from the Romans in the 1st century B. C.
