Croatia has many regions and Istria is definitely the most magical.

 

ISTRA ( ISTRIA ) - TERRA MAGICA

Similar to Tuscany, in Italy, Istria's advantage is its beautiful coastline. There are many medieval towns in the hills of Istria, such as Motovun or Grožnjan or the famous theater of Pula, which are only 30 minutes from Rovinj by car or bus. There are also many forest trails, mountains, caves, and of course, beaches. In addition, Istria's many olive trees and vineyards lend themselves to world-famous wine and cuisine.
