Fodor's, the world's most renowned publisher of tourism & travel information and guidebooks, featured Istria in its "Go List 2012" as a top travel destination for 2012.

Our special offer

Situated on the North coast of Croatia, the Istrian region is popular for both a stunning scenery and affordable holidays. Istria has something to offer to visitors of all interests. This Adriatic peninsula goes head to head with beautiful Tuscany, having the advantage of being more financially accessible and less "touristy".

Fodor's writes: when you think "Istria," you should envision...

"…medieval hilltop villages (most notably Rovinj and Motovun), miles of vineyards, and restaurants serving incredible seafood and pizza and pasta dishes topped with shavings of locally foraged truffles (indeed, the world’s best come from Istria, not Italy). Hugging the Adriatic coast of Croatia on a peninsula opposite Venice, coastal Istria is just as appealing as its southern Dalmatian Coast neighbors (minus the crowds) and its Italian counterparts…."

The list names 21 best places to go in 2012 recommending when to go, where to stay, and what to do when you get there. It is based on popularity of a destination, interesting events or content, stunning landscapes and reasonable prices.

Another travel industry giant, National Geographic, agrees with Fodor's naming Istria their top 2012 destination.

National Geographic

"...Think Tuscany, but with a Hapsburg past. The shady, rolling hills of Istria - Croatia’s northernmost peninsula—are becoming widely known for their truffles, Malvazija white wines, olive oil stancijas (estates), and crumbling hill towns. "

Some other emerging Hotspots on the list with Istria include Wales, Cuba, Colombia, Rwanda, South Korea and Panama.

For your next holiday, visit Istria! Stay in one of the beautiful beach resorts on the Adriatic and see for yourself just how beautiful this old corner of Europe is.
