We were here with my friends and what amazed us most about this place is how the traditions of the Istrian people have survived to this day. We also experienced the indigenous Istrian life through their delicious foods and wines and even cultural heritage. By the end of our trip, we had vowed to maintain our traditions too like the Istrians.

The rich cultural life and traditions of this place were visible with the dressing and dishes that were served at this place. The locals were polite and respectful. I made friends with several of them and I was amazed by their hospitality.

If you want a new cultural experience, this is the place to visit in my opinion. I found the history of the place very interesting. A place one can visit to get a chance to actually experience central Istria in all its glory. The Locals are willing to let a person experience their culture and lifestyle. A lively place indeed.
