CENTRAL CROATIA, CITY OF ZAGREB, SLAVONIA 1. Zagreb Camping 2. Terme Jezerčica Camping 3. Vita Camping

Located in the westernmost part of Croatia, bordering Slovenia and Italy, Istria is the largest peninsula in Croatia and i one of the best-developed regions in the country for tourism.

It is criss-crossed by wine and olive oil mercantile routes. With its scenery, diverse cultural events and entertainment programs as well as a delightful gastronomy and wine it is an ideal destination for many visitors, especially enthusiasts of hilly areas and the blue sea. Multicultural and hospitable, Istria has lots to offer campers both on the beaches with the crystal clear and warm Adriatic Sea, and in its green hinterland. Along the coast, from Umag in the northwest to Pula in the far south and Rabac in the east, there are campsites run by major tourism companies, but also smaller, family-run sites that have two things in common: a great deal of investment in supplying the highest quality in service and equipment, and the prestigious awards of which many are justly proud. In Istria, you can be sure that you will find what you are looking for, whether you are keen to experience the new phenomenon of 'glamping', or are primarily looking for a pleasant stay in camping-resorts that offer you numerous facilities, or, perhaps to spend your holidays in quiet communion with nature. After spending your day sunbathing, swimming or taking part in a range of sporting activities that Istrian campsites offer, get to know the peninsula through cultural events that aim to evoke the history of the region. Sightseeing on the peninsula, walking in the fragrant shade of the woods, as well as the holiday activities in the campsites are all great additions to just lazing on the beach. Do get to know the Istrian interior and enjoy the cobbled streets and beautiful facades of picturesque medieval towns. Many places have been restored and will impress you with their heritage dating back to the peak of the Venetian Republic, whilst other places, such as the former coal-mine at Labin, can boast of their unique industrial history which is re-energising their transformation into tourism venues.

You must complete this journey through time and space with some Istrian specialities. These range from fish and seafood, through truffles - a well-known aphrodisiac - to re-discovered saffron, a highly appreciated spice from ancient times. Gastronomically, Istria is worth getting to know, and year on year justifies its position at the very top of tourism of both Croatia and the region.

You can find additional information about Istria and individual destinations at www.istria.hr

Umag and Novigrad: Gateway to Istria

Located at the northern gateway to Istria, Umag is a perfect introduction to what Istrian tourism offers and the exploration of Istrian characteristics. Well-known as a venue for the ATP tennis tournament, this city also provides much in the way of tourist accommodation along the coast and in the hinterland. Even the most demanding guest can't fail to be satisfied by the luxury hotels, villas and apartments, which either part of larger tourist resorts or owned by local families, as well as ecologicalally landscaped and highly-rated campsites. Visitors can get to know wine cellars and olive oil tasting rooms along the bike trails. Cycling is also popular in the nearby Novigrad, once a quiet fishing village, which over the years has become an attractive destination for tourists from Europe and the rest of the world. This city receives increasing numbers of tourists each year, and is well-known for its jagged walls and Istrian Sashimi (local raw fish dishes inspired by Japanese cookery) as well as for 'Istralandia', the first water park in Istria County, which opened in the vicinity of Novigrad.

Poreč and Tar: Cultural and Culinary Highlights

The high quality and availability of accommodation on the coast and in the interior, including a series of campsites, make Poreč and its surroundings one of the most important tourist destinations in Croatia. The participants of the Giostra, the festival of events and chivalry competitions, where you can also taste the sweet dishes and wine of the Poreč region, will tell you some of the ancient stories of the well-preserved old town of Poreč, situated on its promontory surrounded by the sea. Indulge in culture by visiting the Euphrasian Basilica which, with its valuable mosaics, is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Poreč is proud of its local products and pride of place goes both to olive oil, which according to experts has a sophisticated scent and flavour, and Poreč Malvasia wine. Enthusiasts of active holidays will choose this part of Istria for its extensive sports and recreational facilities including water sports. Nearby Tar is a popular destination for campers, who will find some of the largest campsites in Croatia here. The best olive oil in the world has also come from here since time immemorial, as confirmed by the experts of the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations). Relax on the beautiful beaches away from city crowds, enjoy the bike trails, wine routes and olive groves, have fun at folk festivals and learn about the past of this region and its surroundings while travelling on the tourist train along the Parenzana, the historic narrow-gauge railway.

Vrsar and Funtana: A Cultural and Natural Journey

Located almost at the mouth of the Lim channel, Vrsar is very interesting tourist destination. The town has been linked with Giacomo Casanova, who stayed there twice and recorded it in his book 'Memoirs'. Today you can learn more about his trips at the festival dedicated to this famous Italian lover. Vrsar is proud of its title as the 'town of sculpture'. Every year since 1991 the Montraker Summer School of Sculpture takes place in the restored 'Montraker' quarry, whose stone, according to some sources, was also used by well-known Florentine sculptors and builders. Vrsar also offers tourists a long-established naturist campsite located in Koversada Park, together with 'textile' campsites and inspiring seaside promenades. Near the 'Casanova' town is Funtana, a charming fishing town that thrives here on the most developed part of the Istrian coast: from the Zelena lagoon in the north to Valkanela bay in the south. Campsites in this corner of Croatia are a good choice for all ages. You can explore the beauty of this part of Istria through horse-rides organised by local equestrian centers and accompanied by experienced guides. More daring visitors will choose a panoramic flight out of the airfield in Vrsar, which provides a bird's eye-view of Istria.

ROVINJ AND BALE

Well-known as the most romantic place in the Mediterranean, the Istrian town of Rovinj, leader of Croatian tourism in this part of the country, will also attract you with its unique old town center with houses built on the cliffs. From here you can enjoy views of nearby islands, most notably Red Island (Crveni otok) and the island of St Catherine, and you can also learn about the local fishing tradition by investigating one of the symbols of Rovinj - the batana (a type of wooden boat). In the year 1888 a health resort opened, dedicated to poor children who suffered from scrofula and rickets, and this is considered to be the year that tourism officially started in Rovinj. The foundations of modern tourism were laid in the early 20th century with the construction of the first hotel in Rovinj. Today this destination can boast of its variety of cultural and entertainment events which attract a large number of visitors. The artists who come to the town during the Grisia outdoor art exhibition immortalise the beauty of Rovinj. In addition to the availability of high-quality campsites and other accommodation, Rovinj also offers its visitors many sporting activities and wellness opportunities.

Bale is not far from Rovinj, in the southern part of Istria towards Pula. The 45th parallel passes through the area and the small town receives about 2,400 hours of sunshine per year, and perhaps owes some economic success to this. In addition to its ideal climate, Bale can boast an interesting old town, rich cultural events, a nine kilometre-long coastline and camping sites. Dinosaur fossils have been found nearby.

Pula, Medulin, and Fažana: History and Natural Wonders

Like Rome, Pula, the largest city in Istria, was built on seven hills and also has an amphitheater. The Pula Arena is the sixth largest ancient amphitheater in the world, and amongst the best-preserved. It is Croatia's largest single ancient monument. It is also well-known as 'Divić-grad' or the town built by fairies, according to some legends. Besides numerous Roman monuments, Pula also has an Austro-Hungarian architectural legacy. The city is the cultural, economic, academic and political center of Istria county and offers tourism activities throughout the year. James Joyce, the famous writer, stayed in Pula in the early 20th century and today many writers still visit the city during the well-known book fair. Film-makers take part in the long-standing Pula Film Festival, which takes place in the Vespasian Arena in the summer. According to the British Guardian newspaper, it is the largest and the most spectacular outdoor festival in Europe.

There are many campsites in Pula and its surroundings. Ten kilometres away in the town of Fažana you can enjoy views of the Brijuni National Park, an archipelago which turns into a theater-stage in the summer, thanks to performances given by the Ulysses Theatre Company. Further south of Pula, in the Medulin municipality region and its riviera, there is a two kilometre-long sandy beach and the Cape Kamenjak Nature Park.

Rabac: A Family-Friendly Coastal Gem

On the eastern coast of Istria about three kilometres below Labin's old town-center lies this former fishing village, where Richard Francis Burton, diplomat, soldier, world traveller, archaeologist and polyglot, was among the first people to promote it for tourism in the 1870s. The first hotel was built there shortly after his visit to Rabac. After World War II, tourism activities took off in the mid 1950s, when visitors from Germany erected the first tents in the area of today's campsite in the bay of olive groves. This was followed by the construction of hotels, resorts and private accommodation. Today, it is well-known due to its pearly-white sandy beaches and the scent of Mediterranean vegetation. This tourist destination is ideal for families with small children. It is also recommended for foodies. As well as by road, Rabac is linked to Labin by a footpath through, as some claim, the 'fairy woodland'.

Contrasts and diversity are the most noticeable features of the Kvarner region, which stretches from the Učka mountain range to the Dalmatian coast. Its long tradition of health tourism began at the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, primarily due to its favourable climate and ease of access, and is continued today by numerous wellness and thalassotherapy treatment centers.

The Kvarner region, well-known to campers, comes up trumps with very successful all-season tourism. This much is evident across the whole area: from the Opatija Riviera where, according to historical sources, Croatian tourism began to develop in the mid-19th century, through Rijeka, the third largest city in Croatia and capital city of Primorje-Gorski Kotar county, to Krk and Cres, the largest Croatian islands. Likewise, the islands of Lošinj and Rab have been prominent on the tourist map for a long time, as has the Gorski Kotar region - the 'green heart of Croatia', a region of woods and mountains, linking continental and Mediterranean Croatia, encompassing Risnjak National Park and the highest peak, Bjelolasica. Most of the campsites are situated on the islands, where the ecologicalal focus and biodiversity of the Kvarner region come to the fore. Dolphin-watching is another maritime attraction that you can enjoy in the waters just off Lošinj where these mammals swim regularly perhaps in pursuit of the delicious Kvarner scampi.

This pale red delicacy, together with Vrbnička Žlahtina wine is one of the trademarks of Kvarner eno-gastronomy. But one should not forget Gorski Kotar's continental specialities, such as mushrooms, wild berries and game dishes, which also hold an important place.

As well as being pivotal in the origins of Croatian tourism, the Kvarner region is also well-known as the cradle of literacy in the Croatian language. The Baška tablet, known to be one of the oldest examples of the use of the Croatian language, was found in Jurandvor, near Baška on the island of Krk. You can learn about the Glagolithic script as used on that tablet along the Baška Glagolithic trail, one of the most original initiatives in this part of Croatia.

You can find additional information about Primorje-Gorski Kotar county and its individual destinations on www.kvarner.hr.
