Istria’s peculiar heartland contains fertile fields and dense forests above which are towns from the middle ages, erected on hills. Meanwhile, Istrian seaside offers both purposeful infrastructure for entertainment as well as secluded spots of natural beauty. In Istria everyone can have their ideal vacation because the secret of its attractiveness lies precisely in its diversity.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Pleasant climate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Istria has been gifted with a comfortable Mediterranean climate, characterised by light winters, dry and warm summers, and an average of 2400 sunny hours each year. The sea is clean and clear, reaching temperatures of up to 26\u00b0C in the summer. This beautiful Mediterranean oasis will fascinate you during any time of year. In the spring, Istria is the perfect place to witness nature’s awakening – during the wild asparagus harvest. Warm summers are the best time for entertainment, sea activities and visits to the various manifestations that invigorate the many Istrian towns, both across the mainland and by the sea. Autumn is the season for gathering white truffles, marked by several traditional festivals in Buzet and Livade. In winter Istria is the quiet spot for a calm vacation in the mildly-cold, therapeutic sea air while the locals prepare for spring to come and the changing of the seasons to begin again.<\/p>\n
