I think there might be just a touch of “jaded traveller” syndrome here. Istria is fine, with a few diverting things to see, but nothing in the ” wowee” category. We’ve probably been here for a couple of days longer than necessary and need to move on.
But some early reflections
- Food is generally very high standard – we’ve been to many places where it’s been much worse
- No-one outside Croatia speaks Croatian, so the locals are all multilingual, especially English
- I think in Croatian Scrabble, j would only be worth 1 point – it gets in everywhere
- Paying for parking is widespread – we’ve hardly been anywhere where it’s free
Anyway, mountain towns (with views)
Motovun
And then on Sunday found Vrsar up the coast which was just what we were looking for, ie
- Beautiful coastal walks
- Comfy seats in the shade to sit and read
- Lots of clean loos
What more do you need???
And our final favourite restaurant – and as good a view from dinner as we’ve ever had
