Itinerary
Step into a week of discovery in Croatia’s Istrian countryside with the 'Villages of Istria Walk'—an 8-day moderate trekking and hiking tour for experienced travelers and seniors. From the hilltop charm of Buje and Motovun to the truffle capital of Buzet and the cobblestone lanes of Lovran, this private self-guided adventure immerses you in rolling vineyards, lush valleys, and medieval villages. Follow the Parezana trail, climb Istria’s highest peak, and savor local wines and cuisine while staying in inviting hotels and guesthouses. The true highlight? Experiencing Croatia’s lesser-known but most enchanting region on foot, with each day revealing a new facet of Istrian culture and natural beauty.
