Istria is a rally busy town. I loved using the guide to explore this town. It showed me another side of Istria I never imagined I would see. I visited some of the places on the guide and they were really mesmerizing.

There are many beaches in Istria. The guide gave me a glimpse of all the beaches in terms of the surrounding and activities taking place. I therefore knew the beaches to visit with my kids. The guide did not disappoint. My kids really enjoyed playing by the beaches.

Needed a get way trip from home with my kids and this guide was of service. My kids loved the sandy resort and the shores for its pebbles. The sight of the setting sun on the horizon was one of a kid especially at Kamenjak, Medulin.

We visited 8 places in this informative guide. Without it, we could not have located some of the hidden gem. We walked down the rocky beaches and relaxed in the caves.

The activities of the beach was the fascinating thing that i could not wait to do once i saw them inside the guide. We enjoyed playing beach volleyball with the natives and other people touring the place from different parts of the country and we enjoyed the activity every minute of it, the guide really contributed a lot.
