Overview
Istria is a melting pot of cultures where historic towns, glittering seascapes and delicious dishes vie for your attention. This full-day tour takes in some of the region's star turns, including lovely Rovinj and ancient Pula. You'll also tuck into a lunch of tasty local specialities. Ratko, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Let us guide you on a journey through the area where three of Europe's biggest cultures overlap - Latin, Germanic, and Slavic. My highlight is stepping inside the sixth biggest amphitheatre in the world at Pula - Istrian ‘Rome.'You'll start the day in the photogenic town of Rovinj, the old town crammed onto an oval peninsula. There's a tangible sense of the Venetian heritage here, and you'll stroll narrow streets fringed by Roman and Byzantine treasures, too. Grab the chance to visit gems such as St Euphemia's Church, from where the views over the archipelago are impressive. Then, you'll stop by the hamlet of Grzini for a typical Istrian lunch in a farm-to-table restaurant and get an insight into rural life.After refuelling, you'll head to the final stop of the day, Pula. Here, your guide will bring to life the times of roaring crowds as you explore the towering and remarkably well-preserved Roman Arena, accompanied by a ‘gladiator.' Then you'll have ample free time to wander, relax, people-watch, shop, or see the rest of the city - a true treasure chest of Roman remnants - before boarding the coach back to resort.
