This region not only captivates through its very pleasant climate - the summer is not too hot and it has very mild winters, moreover 2380 sun hours a year - but also through its cordial and friendly locals.
The north of Istria is also named the Croatian Toscana. In some towns you feel displaced in the middle age. Next to Motovun, Buzet and Roc, lures Hum, the smallest town of the world, the visitors.
