Istria Private Tours |
|
Sometimes referred to as the "new Tuscany," Istria is a beautiful peninsula in Northern Croatia, whose history and present day are infused with Italian influence. Holiday makers are attracted to its sunny coast, while Istria's medieval hilltop villages attract painters and artisans. Enjoy seeing this charming part of Croatia on a private Istria tour with a friendly local guide.
A leisurely wander through Rovinj is a must: this late medieval town is imbued with Venetian overtones, and the architecture and picturesque harbour setting combine to make it one of the most romantic villages you'll see on your travels. Your guide will be sure you visit the Roman Amphitheatre at Pula, where you can witness a modern performance in the well-preserved ancient setting. In Poreč, you can see the World Heritage-listed Euphrasian Basilica, a superb example of 6th century Byzantine art.
Your guide is happy to accommodate your unique interests on your private Istria tour. |
