We invite you to Istria
Travelers go to Croatia mainly to the Adriatic Sea. However, not every stretch of the country's coast is the same. You can go to Croatia every year and every vacation will be different. You can go to one of the islands - for example the half desert Pag. You can visit the historic and monumental Dubrovnik, beyond the walls of which elements of Muslim culture have already entered. You can finally visit peaceful Istria .
The nature of Istria
Although Istria is called the largest peninsula in Croatia, parts of this cape also belong to Slovenia and Italy. What will draw our attention after crossing the imaginary border of this part of the land is ubiquitous and lush green. Istria is often nicknamed "green". This is because almost the entire peninsula is covered with oak forests.
Poreč town neighborhood
Blue flags fly over almost all beaches in this region. They are, in fact, decorations awarded to those parts of the coast where the water is of the highest degree of purity. The local beaches are covered with fine gravel, which positively distinguishes it from other regions of Croatia (in many other places we can come across rocky or even concrete beaches).
Although Poreč is a small town (about 16,000 inhabitants), it can offer many historical attractions. The city was most likely founded in the fifth century AD by the Illir. History lovers will be able to admire monuments from both the times of the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
Kitchen
The coast of Istria is famous for its unrelenting heat throughout the summer. No wonder that the most popular dish of the region has become hladni pladanj (i.e. a cold plate that was once popular in Poland). On such a tray of cold starters, we will see thinly sliced ripening ham (prśut), sheep's cheese and green olives. After the starter, of course, you should eat the soup. An Istrian specialty is Zagorska juha od Krumpira, i.e. potato soup. However, as the main course, I suggest moussaka (egg, cheese, eggplant and potato casserole).
Sports attractions
Istria offers various sports activities. Like every peninsula, it offers a wide range of sailing opportunities (sailing from port to port is much more attractive here). The water of the entire region is crystal clear, and the water is heavily salted (which increases the buoyancy), so diving will also bring visitors a lot of joy.
If we get bored of the coast, we can take advantage of the rich network of Istrian cycle paths.
Camping Naturist
This Croatian camp site is surrounded on all sides by oak trees, which guarantees peace, quiet and discretion to all visitors. As there are three restaurants and a market on its premises, it is almost self-sufficient. It also has a rich sports base. Tourists can take advantage of the tennis courts, mini golf course or bocce (a type of bull) within Camp Naturist . There is also a marina and a beach nearby (naturally marked with a blue flag). When we go to play or ride a bike, we can leave our kids on the playground or under the care of an animator. As the name of the campsite suggests, it welcomes all naturists with open arms ...
I do not have a camper or caravan, but I often and enjoy sleeping next to these vehicles in my small "Alabama" tent. I also like writing about tourism.
