Take a trip to Tar-Vabriga, a town formed by combining two villages, situated between the charming town of Novigrad and the Adriatic pearl of Poreč. Tar-Vabriga provides a view of Novigrad and Poreč, and on occasion, Venice can be seen from the Tar bell tower. Don't forget to taste the area's local olive oil, the best in Europe. After visiting Novigrad and Poreč, head inland to the protected Baredine Cave, a natural monument with interesting geological formations, and the charming town of Višnjan, famous for its astronomical observatory. For a fun family outing, head to the exciting Istralandia water park which is only a 20-minute drive away.
