Istria is the largest peninsula of the Adriatic Sea and is the most westerly province of Croatia, next door to Italy. Istria has no less than 275 miles of coastline and this makes it a very popular holiday destination, especially among sun worshippers. Pula, Poreč and Umag are the main tourist resorts. Istria is lush with lots of unspoilt countryside, lakes and waterfalls, centuries old culture and very hospitable people. However, it's the beautiful crystal clear waters and high sun hour ratings which make Istria a dream destination for so many people.

Umag is a town of around 13,000 inhabitants which with about 45 km of the coastline and interesting hinterland integrates special features of the whole region and might be the best introduction into a different experience of the Mediterranean.
