Places
So much to do, see, taste and visit, yet you only get a few days in a year to do it. Seems unfair. To make it easier for you, start with the northwestern corner of Croatia, Istria, and move south. With the best traffic connections to most European cities and couple of airports nearby, Istria is the most logical choice - and it squeezes so much beauty in such a nice little peninsula, you'll still have to many options.
ISTRIA
With its own celebrated gastronomy, wines and olive oils, Istria feels separate from the rest of Croatia. Nothing is ever far away and inland is as beautiful as the coast. Christened "Terra Magica" by the Romans, this triangular peninsula is brimming with villages weird and wonderful, so go exploring on foot, by bike or in a car. You'll love it.
