From timeless hill-top villages to gently rolling vineyards and historic harbour towns –
Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula is a paradise for cycling, though it enjoys a far lower profile than the country’s famous Dalmatian Coast. In the bucolic interior, small medieval towns charm with their labyrinthine streets and romantic old buildings, and local produce can be sampled at rustic
konobe (traditional restaurants). The coast is just as entrancing, with harbour-side eateries, crystal-clear waters and glorious sunsets.
