Active Holiday in Istria: Beyond the Tourist Trail
#

Fill Your Active Holiday with Adventure
#

I live in Istria, and there are countless ways to make your holiday active here. Still, many visitors stick to the crowded campsites and the usual round of activities. They end up in traffic jams, or wasting afternoons in shopping centers.

Discover the Hidden Gems
#

I recently spoke with long-time visitors who only started exploring Istria properly after many years of coming here. They found out the hard way that it had more to offer than they thought. They discovered real konobas serving genuine Istrian food, instead of the tourist-oriented places that only open for peak season. Agritourism Dol in Gologorički Dol is one of those lesser-known spots where reservations are a must. You can wander the grounds, walk to the small waterfall, and just take your time.

Embrace an Active Vacation

If you want an active holiday, Istria delivers. You can cycle for an afternoon, hike for a day, or string together a multi-day trek with overnights in mountain huts. There are trails for road cycling, mountain biking and hiking all over the peninsula, whatever your legs can handle that day.
