Family Holidays in Istria

Upon your arrival in Pula, you and your family will be guided to your comfortable lodgings where you can settle in. The city awaits your exploration at your own pace, with ancient Roman landmarks like the well-preserved Pula Arena and the quaint streets of the Old Town offering something for everyone. Whether indulging in local cuisine at a nearby restaurant or enjoying a leisurely sunset stroll along the scenic waterfront, your first day promises a delightful introduction to Istria.

Your day begins with a leisurely wander through the charming streets of Pula’s Old Town. Here, a blend of ancient and medieval architecture beckons, along with local shops, cafes, and restaurants that offer a taste of the local culture. Later, you’ll head to one of Pula’s beautiful beaches, where relaxation on the sandy shores and enjoyment of the crystal-clear waters await. Don’t forget your beach essentials, as you’ll likely want to spend the entire day by the sea!

The choice is yours on this free day. If you opt for the Aquarium, a wide variety of Adriatic marine life awaits, including sharks, turtles, rays, and various fish species. Touch tanks and educational exhibits offer a chance to learn more about these fascinating creatures. Alternatively, a day at the beach offers sun-soaking, swimming, sandcastle-building, and water activities for a fun-filled family day.

Excitement awaits as you choose between visiting National Park Brijuni, where lush green forests, hiking trails, and wildlife spotting, including an elephant, offer a nature-filled day. Or, head to Cape Kamenjak, where stunning cliffs and coves provide breathtaking scenery. Here, you can walk along beautiful beaches and engage in water activities like snorkeling, diving, and swimming for an adventurous day.

Transfer to the enchanting coastal town of Rovinj, known for its picturesque Old Town, alluring beaches, and vibrant cultural scene. Upon arrival, the lively atmosphere of charming streets, bustling squares, and ancient churches welcomes you. Don’t miss visiting St. Euphemia’s Church, a beautiful baroque structure that offers panoramic views of the town and the sparkling sea.

Today’s adventure takes you underwater with a semi-submarine tour. From the comfort of the vessel, you’ll observe various fish species and coral reefs and learn about the marine ecosystem and human impact on the sea. Post-tour, beautiful nearby beaches offer a chance to relax and enjoy the sun, rounding off a day filled with exploration and relaxation.

An unforgettable day trip to Poreč awaits, where you can visit Istra Inspirit, an award-winning tourism project that revives historical events through staged Istrian legends or explore Dino Park with life-size dinosaur models. Alternatively, hit the beach for sun, sand, and sea before returning to your accommodation for a well-deserved rest.

Choose between two thrilling activities: a day at Istralandia water park, filled with water slides, pools, a lazy river, and a wave pool, or an exhilarating zipline experience at Pazin Cave, flying above the underground river Pazinčica, admiring unique geological formations, and learning about the area’s history and legends.

Today, your family enjoys a well-deserved free day in Rovinj. Whether relaxing on the beach, exploring the charming Old Town, or trying out local restaurants, the choice is yours. It’s a perfect opportunity to revisit favorite spots or discover new ones, making the most of your time in this beautiful coastal town.

Sadly, today marks the end of your family holiday in Rovinj. The memories and experiences will linger long after you leave. Before departure, perhaps a final dip in the Adriatic or a last stroll through the town. We’ll assist with your airport transfer, ensuring a smooth and stress-free end to your journey.

From the Croatian capital, Zagreb, to nearby islands like Cres, Krk, and Lošinj, a delightful mix of nature, culture, and family activities await. Whether seeking a peaceful retreat in Cres, exploring history in Krk, or enjoying the pristine beaches of Lošinj, we can organize accommodations, ferry tickets, activities, or full itineraries, tailoring your extended holidays to your preferences entirely.
