Insights into New Croatia Tour
Our company president just returned from a visit to our new Croatia tour and wants to share some additional information with our readers:
Croatia is a small and very long country; mostly made up of coastline all the way along the Adriatic from near Trieste in the north to far south until the border with Montenegro. Croatia is an odd shaped country but when people think of visiting Croatia, they mostly think of the coast.
Our tour takes place on the Istria peninsula in the northern reaches of coastal Croatia and like the vast diverse history of this land, the tour is just so. What is fabulous about this tour is that it offers experiences away from the coast in some of the quieter inland areas as well as the gorgeous coastline. In the town of Motovun, for example, we find a hilltop village reminiscent of Tuscany; surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. In the town, we find Enotekas – wine bars – and numerous artisan craftsmen, as well as truffle shops! Old cobblestone streets, narrow pedestrian walkways, and a fabulous 4 star hotel with spa add to our traveler’s experience. Motovun is on the verge of global discovery though, its international film festival is attracting big celebrities and some are buying land! Resorts aren’t far off!
On the coast, where most of this trip passes, of course the aqua marine colors typical of this coast are accessible at various points along the rides. There is also a fjord and boating options available! One of the more charming towns is Rovinj. A fascinating story is the history of this town pre-dating the Romans; but passing a large amount of time under Venetian control and so carrying a very Venetian/Italian influence. The old town originally built on a small island was eventually connected to the main land; the population today is about the same as during the time of the Venetians.
This tour offers so much to those who like to explore the less traveled routes. The locals all along the way are so helpful and friendly. All of our hotel hosts speak good English and go out of their way to help. See the pictures of this tour on our tour page at https://pure-adventures.com///tours/croatia.php
