Istria County: Peninsula of Tourism and Mediterranean Culture
Shaped like a rough triangle jutting into the northern Adriatic, Istria County has approximately 195,000 residents and the highest per-capita income of any Croatian county outside Zagreb. The coastal towns of Rovinj, Porec, and Pula anchor a tourism industry that generates a disproportionate share of Croatia's overnight stays. Pula's Roman amphitheatre, one of the six largest surviving Roman arenas worldwide, hosts concerts and the annual Pula Film Festival. Porec's Euphrasian Basilica, with its 6th-century Byzantine mosaics, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The interior of the peninsula has a different character entirely. Hill towns like Motovun, Groznjan, and Buzet sit atop ridges overlooking the Mirna river valley, where truffle hunting is both a tradition and a tourism draw. Istrian olive oil has gained international recognition, and the peninsula's winemaking tradition, particularly Malvazija whites and Teran reds, dates back centuries. Bilingualism is common in much of the county, with Italian spoken alongside Croatian, a legacy of centuries of Venetian and later Italian administration.
Companion services in Istria are distributed across multiple coastal towns rather than concentrated in a single city. Accommodation options range from large resort hotels to private apartments and agritourism properties in the interior.
