Istria is the largest peninsula of the Adriatic Sea and is the most westerly province of Croatia, next door to Italy. Istria has no less than 275 miles of coastline and this makes it a very popular holiday destination, especially among sun worshippers. Pula, Porec and Umag are the main tourist resorts. Istria is lush with lots of unspoilt countryside, lakes and waterfalls, centuries old culture and very hospitable people. However, it's the beautiful crystal clear waters and high sun hour ratings which make Istria a dream destination for so many people.Umag. Each summer, Umag, a small town of 7,500 residents is transformed into a tourist magnet of the highest standard. This stylish seaside resort is located in the north-west of Istria, and offers very attractive, ancient architecture, a fantastic atmosphere around the harbour and narrow streets in its old town centre. This is the ideal spot to nose around in the many boutiques, while the wide range of restaurants, bars, cafés and nightclubs makes the holiday picture complete.Porec (12,500 inhabitants) located on a lagoon on the west coast of Istrië. The city is surrounded by beautiful green countryside and has a mild Mediterranean climate. The history of Porec goes back a long way: Roman remains can be found at various places. A famous place of interest in Porec is St. Euphrasius Basilica dating back to the 6th Century and internationally known for its beautiful Byzantine mosaics. In 1997, this basilica was added to the world heritage list of UNESCOVisit Venice. An excursion to romantic Venice is easily arranged from Umag. The modern catamaran service will take you there in forty minutes, and there are regular excursions organised each week, taking in all the hot spots of Venice. It's certainly something not to be missed!Pula, with 80,000 inhabitants, is a 2,500 years old roman city with a lot of historical buildings such as the world famous ARENA where 2.000 years ago roman gladiators met each other in fights to the death. Other interesting testimonies of this period are the Arch of the Sergians and the Augustus Temple. But there is another Pula as well: the modern city with beautiful, enormous hotel complexes on a nice coast, a yachting harbour and other tourist attractions.
