The Adriatic
An exquisite Coast
At the edge of inspiring waters, the Adriatic Coast has enchanted sea-lovers for centuries. Soak in the luminous waves along the east coast nestling the distinct cities and alluring beaches. Preside over commanding panoramic views that extend to the shoreline over vineyards and villages. Explore the treasured promenade shopping beneath forested hills. Hop between more than 1,000 islands along the Croatian coastline, rightfully called “the pearl of the Adriatic.” Walk along sapphire waters rolling onto the brilliant white beaches of Montenegro, where some of the oldest city walls and medieval monuments in the Balkans welcome curious coastal visitors. Experience the allure of the Adriatic Sea and explore and savor the charming gifts of the coast.
Poreč, an ancient Roman town is the centerpiece of a vast system of tourist resorts that stretches north and south along the west coast of Istria. Its UNESCO World Heritage listed Euphrasian basilica and Bishop’s Palace was built in the sixth century by Bishop Euphrasius, a rare example of Byzantine art. It’s well-developed infrastructure, and the verdant Istrian interior is within easy reach. It's also become the party hub of Istria in the recent years, drawing in partygoers from all corners of Europe.
Piran, one of the loveliest towns anywhere along the Adriatic coast. Its Old Town, the best-preserved historical towns in the country, is a gem of Venetian Gothic architecture.
Motovun is a captivating little walled town perched on a 277m hill in the Mirna River valley. The setting is astonishingly gorgeous and a large part of its appeal is in the lost-in-time views over the verdant valley. The dark Motovun Forest has a mythical hidden treasure, the famous truffles of Istrian peninsular.
