ISSUE ONE, 2019 ISSUE ONE, ISTRIA timeout.com/croatia Taste the region Istria Holidaywith a view Here in Istria, more so than almost any destination you could visit in the region, we live in harmony with nature. This ethos Istria: helps to showcase our region as a year-round destination. Life as it should be 'Life as it should be' is our motto. And whichever time of year you visit our beautiful peninsula, you will be able to take part in a traditional, healthy and sustainable way of life, one governed by seasons which provide a bounty of globally- recognised produce. Our crystal-clear Adriatic offers up the most exquisite, fresh seafood, providing much of the Mediterranean-style diet we consume. From our continental side, the spectacular hilltop towns of Istria and the terraces of vineyards and olive groves give us award-winning wines and olive oils. Famous too are our rich black and white truffles and fine cheeses, both of which stem from the same beloved terrain and terroir as our wines and olives. Beat the crowds by visiting in springtime, walking down romantic, cobbled streets unfettered by fellow tourists, or arrive in the summertime so the family can take advantage of our beautiful beaches, clean sea and dependable sun- shine. Autumn shows Istria at its best; the weather is good and the sea is still warm enough to swim in, it coincides with harvest time, the arrival of the year's new truffles and the start of the hunting season. Each season Istria has its own cultural calendar, from famous film and music festivals to time-honoured food celebrations. Our major international airport in Pula adds new routes year upon year. Over 70 European destinations including London, Paris and Frankfurt are connected by direct flights to Pula, positioning Istria as an attractive and easy getaway for visitors from all over the world. It's never been easier to visit Istria. At whatever time you arrive, you won't fail to fall in love with 'Life as it should be'.
