Property
in Istria
Buying property in Istria, famous for its
beaches and charming
port towns, continues to grow in popularity among all
foreign investors. At the northern end, the peninsula
of Istria contains many of the country’s most
developed resorts along side old Venetian towns. Looking
inland, Istria is characterized by sleepy hilltop
villages mixing medieval architecture with rustic tranquility.
Should Croatia achieve its aim of EU membership in
2006 or 2007, then there will have to be an equalising
of prices across the regions which suggests it is
still
possible to find properties that
are currently undervalued.

About
Istria

As
the westernmost County of the Republic
of Croatia, Istria borders Slovenia
and has a maritime border with
Italy. The peninsula is considered
the largest green oasis of the
Northern Adriatic and one of the
most popular destinations for foreign
visitors to Croatia. The spectacular
shoreline has numerous bays, islands,
coves and pebble and rocky beaches. Summer
sea temperatures in Istria range
from 23-27 Celsius. The coast
and the islands are covered with
pine woods and easily recognizable
green macchia. With a green countryside
of vine groves, mediaeval villages
and a multitude of charming port
towns, Istria has at times been
called the “land of truffles,
wine and song.”
The flavour of Istria is a mixture
of Italian with the particular
charm of the Croatian Adriatic.
Key towns include Pula,
an extraordinary port set right
at the end of the Istrian Peninsula
with little streets, Roman monuments
at every cross road and the magnificent
Pula Amphitheatre. Pula will also
provide you with some of the most
seductive and beautiful beaches.
Rovinj, a fine example of a fortified
town is a popular destination and
considered the little gem of Istria.
Porec is also a pretty town known
for its 6th century Byzantine Basilica
built by the Emperor Euphrasius.
Istria has a mild, Mediterranean
climate (warm and dry summers,
mild and pleasant winters) with
plenty of clear days throughout
the summer with a daily average
of 10 hours of sun. The cuisine
of Istria represents a special
Croatian style of cooking, a blend
of inland and coastal, with recipes
rich in excellent fish and seafood.
The excellent Istrian wines include
Malmsey of Buje, Cabernet of Porec,
Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as
Terrano of Buzet. |
