Depart from your resort as we make our way toward Opatija - a very famous destination, situated at the foot of Mount Učka. The tourism industry started here back in 1844 when Iginio Scarpa built his villa ''Angiolina'' on the site of what is now the “First of May Park”. Soon after this, the resort was frequented by the rich and famous including Gustav Mahler, Anton Chekhov and Isadora Duncan. Even the Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria used to visit his mistress here.
In the eastern part of Istria, only three kilometers from the sea, lies the Medieval town of Labin, today known for its numerous galleries and artists. The most fascinating sight is the central town square with the perfectly preserved loggia and the main Town Gate of St. Flora. After sightseeing and some free time, enjoy a picturesque countryside drive back to your resort.
Rovinj is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular walking tours slots in Rovinj sell out.
