Istria Holidays


europe
Istria holidays offer classical Venetian harbours, incredible Roman ruins, wide stretches of pebble beach and rural landscapes filled with rolling hills and traditional vineyards.

Charming harbour towns with cobbled streets and renaissance bell towers, delicious Italian influenced gastronomy and long beaches where crystal clear Adriatic waters lap the shoreline. The Istrian Peninsula is one of Croatia’s best kept secrets. Visit the grand Roman Amphitheatre in Pula, the 6th largest in the world. Explore rural hilltop towns with bustling market squares and attractive boutique hotels.

Trailfinders offers a range of Istrian Peninsula holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore the historic sights of Rovinj and Pula on a fly drive holiday, relax at a family friendly beach resort, or enjoy hiking the picturesque hinterland around Motovun on a sociable small group walking holiday - they are the perfect people to ask.
