Last summer I did a 5 days road trip around Istria, a region of Croatia.
Over there we explored wild beaches, green hills, roads immersed in nature, super tiny villages, and we tasted local delicious food too.
Thanks to this “time to rest”, I’ve finally had the chance to go through my archives and collect some pictures of the spots and moments I loved the most. Hope you’ll enjoy!

We spent a full day driving from one village to another, tasting the cuisine, talking with locals and listening to stories. DON’T MISS • Motovun: it is a perched medieval village, you will reach the historical center walking up a long stair through the typical houses - the view is amazing
• Hum, also known as the smallest village in the world. Highlights: the little church, the stone houses and the truffle Fuzi (typical pasta) from “Humska Konoba”
• Pazin and the Zipline : don’t be scared, it’s great to fly
