Istria, Croatia

in Pinmapple3 years ago

Istria is one special part of Croatia with beautiful destinations, clear sea, cute little towns, great history and delicious food. It's always a good idea to explore this area.

It's Croatia's biggest peninsula, and it's located in the northern part of Croatia.

We decided to explore Istria this year in September when there aren't so many tourists. We had a great time and saw so many amazing places in only three days.

First, we went to a little town on the coast called Rabac. We slept there in the car and the next day we woke up early in the morning and went walking to the city Labin which is around 5km away from Rabac. It was such a nice walk in the nature, and the city Labin blew us away.

The same day in the afternoon we went to Pula, the biggest city in Istria.

There we found this cool place called Verudela canyon.

The next city was a little town called Fažana where we explored the streets, relaxed at the beach, drank coffee and ate ice cream.

We also stopped at Bale for half an hour.

In the afternoon we went to the beautiful city of Rovinj. This city has the most amazing sunsets!

Also, if you ever find yourself in Rovinj, you must try a tuna burger at Tunaholic fish bar. 😋

On our last day in Istria, we explored the cities of Poreč, Grožnjan and Oprtalj. Also, we saw the "Istrian desert", and there we met one really kind family who invited us for elderberry juice.

Yeah, I'm near. I could say that Istria almost starts near me. And Učka?
Cool photos, you captured the slow moments of Istria in autumn. 👏 😎

Where are you from? We climbed Učka 2 years ago, it was very challenging, but totally worth it!
Thank you :)

Very near. Ilirska Bistrica :)

What a land! Beautiful photos. I knew nothing about Croatia, but now I very much want to go there! Thank you

Thank you! Yeah Croatia has many beautiful places, especially at the sea coast. You should definitely come here 😊

Such beautiful romantic scenes... :)

Totally :)

I gotta say that nature in Croatia looks so different from what I'm used seeing in my country :D
I love how green and fresh nature looks, while keeping its wild part! The canyon was my favourite picture :)

I have never been in Romania, but I'll definitely visit one day and explore. Thank you, yeah the canyon is pretty amazing :)

There are lots of cool things in Romania, and also lots of canyons to be explored. Some are flooded by water and they offer a new experience for sure :)

Prekrasne fotografije!!! Uživala sam gledajući ih. Dugo nisam bila u Istri! 😔
Nadam se čim prije.
Amazing!! ❤️

Hvala puno! Da, Istra nam je najdraži dio Hrvatske ❤️ pozdrav!

wonderful place, I definitely have no other words to describe it ...

Wow, what a beautiful pictures, the view is great and amazing, the sea is incredible. I dream of someday traveling to these beautiful places.
