7 slow days in Istria

A coastal-and-country route for travellers who value food, historic streets and breathing room. A car is useful for the inland days.

Days 1–3

Rovinj

Make the old town your introduction to Istria, with time for seaside walks and a relaxed coastal day.

Days 4–5

Inland Istria

Move towards Motovun. Explore one or two hill towns, and book a food or wine experience with transport considered in advance.

Days 6–7

Pula & the south

Visit Pula’s Roman heritage and choose a weather-appropriate coastal outing. Keep departure day light.

Make it work for you
