Istria, the largest peninsula in the Adriatic, is the most popular destination for foreign visitors to Croatia. The coast and the islands are covered with pine woods and easily recognizable green macchia, which is the reason why it is known as the largest green oasis of the North Adriatic. This charming Mediterranean holiday region is an experience of nature and culture in one: here the romantic coastline touches the azure blue sea under a green veil of evergreen trees; well preserved monuments of Roman culture offer the possibility of extraordinary cultural experiences. The fantastic coastline is a paradise for bathers; everyone will find the ideal spot to lounge in the sun on the extensive pebble and rock beaches.
