Venetian harbour towns, hilltop villages, truffles and olive oil.

Istria is Croatia’s gourmet peninsula: pastel-coloured Rovinj on the sea, the Roman amphitheatre of Pula, and hilltop towns like Motovun above truffle forests. Olive oil, Malvazija wine and quiet coves make it ideal for slow road trips.
