Kavran Bucht

The view from Kavran Bucht is worth the detour, especially around sunrise or the hour before sunset.

Worth knowing

Kavran Bucht stands in Istria, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Cloud cover can ruin a panorama, so pick a clear day. A jumper helps, it is often windier up high.

Practical info

• Entry: check the official site for today’s price and hours. These move with the seasons, and some locations close fully outside the main window.
• How to get there: Tap the map for the route. Croatian town parking is mostly paid and marked with blue P signs; if your trip involves an island, build buffer time in for the ferry.

Timing your trip

Plan Kavran Bucht for May to October, with June and September the quietest warm months. July and August bring the crowds and the heat; winter is cheaper and handsomer than people expect, especially in the inland cities.
