Are you planning your holidays this year? Are you looking for a place that you can easily get to with a camper and where you will enjoy traveling in it? For a holiday with family or friends, we highly recommend the north of Croatia. In the Istrian region, where the sun almost never leaves the sky, you will be delighted by amazing bays, atmospheric towns with a long list of monuments and even longer... beaches! In addition, we have a well-developed tourist offer, among which we have selected a perfectly located and fully equipped campsite for you.
Attractions of the region
Istria, neighboring Slovenia, is a perfect destination for a successful holiday in Croatia. Not only will we get to it quickly, in just 12 hours, from Poland, but it will also be difficult for us to part with it. It's easy to fall in love with a small, heart-shaped peninsula! There are many reasons for deep feelings - today we will try to present you the 5 most important ones. First of all – historic cities that are worth including in your Istrian sightseeing plan.
The most interesting of them is Rovinj, with its characteristic church of St. Euphemia, built on a hill with a unique view of the surrounding area, Pula, filled with monuments from the period of the Roman Empire, and the tourist center - Poreč, where you can find the valuable Basilica of St. Euphresius, inscribed on the UNESCO list. Secondly – local products, mainly white and black truffles and numerous variations on them, including truffle-flavored olive oil and sheep's cheese with their addition. While praising the region's specialties, we cannot forget about the alcohols produced there - wines from the Malvasia and Teran varieties, as well as honey and mistletoe rakija. Thirdly, there are numerous attractions that fans of active recreation will be delighted with. While relaxing, they will find ideal conditions for water sports, including diving and surfing. Fourth - the smallest town in the world, Hum. Entered into the Guinness Book of Records, it is inhabited by only 14 inhabitants. Fifthly, but not the least important - excellent weather in the form of 300 sunny days a year. Such conditions favor both sunbathing and water bathing at one of the many beaches.
Croatian customs
Before going on holiday in a foreign country, it is worth getting acquainted with the customs and customs prevailing there. Knowledge about them will not only allow us to avoid cultural misunderstandings that could offend the hosts of the visited country, but also better understand their mentality. What to remember during a family holiday in Istria? Let's start with the fact that Croatians are considered an extremely hospitable, open and cheerful nation, very helpful to tourists. When going to a campsite in Croatia , it is not uncommon for us to receive a small treat from the owner, who is willing to talk. However, during them you should avoid topics related to the war with the Serbs, the history of the country, and even football teams that divided fans of this sport. While sunbathing, we should avoid littering and making noise, which will be negatively perceived by local residents. Topless sunbathing is allowed, but it is best to use the nudist beaches popular in the region.
Overnight in Istria
For everyone looking for accommodation in Istria, we present Camping Orsera , located by the sea. If you are going on holiday to Vrsar, called the city of art, this property will be an excellent choice at a great price.

The campsite is also friendly to children, who can enjoy the playground and the animation club while you relax. An additional advantage is excellent access to the most beautiful places in Istria and numerous amenities such as the Internet, a grocery store and a restaurant.
I like closer and longer journeys - with an analog camera and a great appetite, because I always like to get to know the local cuisine during the trip. My favorite region in Europe is the Balkans, especially Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia with Herzegovina, which I have visited several times. I dream of returning to beautiful and unpredictable Iceland. I am currently in Southeast Asia.
