Look no further than Istria Holidays for your next unforgettable beach getaway

Have you spent your last holiday somewhere cold, wintry and snowy such as Eastern Iceland Holiday Cottages and are now looking for a warming, sunny, summer getaway? Istria, or Istra (to Croatians) in Croatia is considered the „new Tuscany“. It is located on a heart-shaped peninsula south of Italy’s Trieste and is abundant with drowned valleys, fertile plains, and green rolling hills. Istria's scenic beauty and charm continues to draw forth artists and artisans to its hilltop villages, from which one can gaze upon a pitcure-perfect view of the countryside.

The rugged, concave coastline is hugely popular amongst tourists seeking sun and sea. Although the beaches are pebbly, there is an abundance of Istria holiday Villas. Inland lies Pazin, the governing capital of Istria, while the coastal resort of Pula is attractive with tourists due to its Roman amphitheatre and successful shipyards. Sightseeing in Rovini, a fishing village in Istria, is ideal for keen fishermen, while Poreč provides a fascinating lesson in ancient history for knowledge hungry tourists on their Istria holidays. Another one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations is Greater Lisbon

To the north of the peninsula lies Slovenia, while to the north east sprawl the Cicarija mountains, extending from the Dinaric Range separating Istria from its continental mainland. Across from the waters of Istria lies Italy and during the summer season the region attracts a flock of Italians who visit for the exquisite pasta, fresh seafood, and feel completely at home as the second favoured language spoken in Istria is none other than Italian. A third of Istria is blanketed in forest, while the rest is covered with olive trees, orchards and pastures, and vineyards. If you decide to visit and stay in Istria accommodation, you will enjoy a gloriously sunny and warm climate, an a wide array of excellent quality regional dishes including smoked meats, fish, and truffles, a holiday Istria is the perfect holiday option for food lovers. Popular cities to visit within the region include Rovinj, Porec, and Pula, but also recommendable are Vrsar, one of the largest naturalist camps in Europe, or Buzet, wher we highly recommend sampling the city's superb quality truffles. If choose to rent an Istria holiday villa in July and are a film buff, why not visit Motovun and enjoy its annual film festival. There is simply so much to do and see whilst enjoying the comfort of your Villa Istria.
