Istria & Kvarner
Istria is large triangular peninsula pointing down into the Adriatic and the most developed Croatian region.
Istra represents a counterbalance of very lively, coastal, tourist towns and quiet, peaceful towns and vineyards in inland. Its landscape, often compared to that one of Tuscany or Provence, changes slowly from the mountain of Učka, over small hills and flat lands to the indented coast.
This is a region of many cultural curiosities, exceptional wines and truffles. The closeness and easy access to Italy offers broad possibilities of excursions to this neighbouring country by direct boat lines or by coaches. As a very popular tourist destination, with its broad selection of seaside resorts, sports centres, small agricultural estates or wine roads, Istra will satisfy even the most demanding visitors.
There is only one larger bay , the Kvarner bay in the north, between the coast of the largest Croatian peninsula Istria and the mainland.
It is a place where the Mediterranean deeply penetrates into the European continent making the Adriatic the sea of the Central Europe.
You can easyly come to Kvarner, it's just a ''one pace away'' from most of the European capitals.
As old Romans would say «Quaternarius», and as legend tells us, they have given the name which means «four sides of the sky», and as Kvarner is today a crossroad of the mayor directions in Mediterranean, where all four sides of the world are as close as they could possible be.
