PULA

Guided walking tour and free time.

Pula is the largest town in Istria. It is also a completely different place than any other you will find in Istria. With its long shipbuilding and navy tradition, it has always had more of industrial, urban vibe than touristy, dolce vita style other towns in Istria have.

It's a mishmash of styles with its of Roman, Venetian, Austro-Hungarian and socialist architecture. It's rough around the edges, and it takes time to love and appreciate Pula. However, once you do, you will realize that this town has so much to offer, so many places to discover, and so many things to do.

Pula is located at the southern tip of Istrian peninsula and it has some of the best beaches in all Istria. The town also boasts a wealth of historical sites, lovely examples of Roman architecture, while town's market, constructed in late 19th century, is a beautiful example of the Vienna Secession architecture.

The most famous town's site is Pula Colosseum, a Roman amphitheater dating back to the 1st century AD. It is well-preserved and today it also serves as a venue for summer festivals and concerts.

VODNJAN

Olive oil tasting and free time.

Vodnjan is a sleepy Istrian village that contains one of the region's most macabre sights. There's not much to see in the tiny town. Unmarked by tourism, it retains an authentic Istrian flavor with nice architectural details. Most people go for the unique Baroque 18th-century Church of St. Blaise.
