Istria is the largest green oasis of the North Adriatic. The coast and the islands are covered with pine woods and easily recognizable green macchia.
Istria's strongest tourist lie on its coast but 'alternative' tourism in the hinterland also is growing. The possibilities go from nautical tourism, sports and recreation to agro tourism.
Grape and wine make part of everyday life in Istria. Istrian dried ham (prosciutto) and olive oil are landmark image of the area. Also rich in seafood, the Istrian cuisine is definitely something to enjoy.
