At the beginning of the June I travelled to Croatia with Jet2holidays and Visit Istria. I’ve visited Croatia before in 2017 but this was a completely different experience. Last time I went to Dubrovnik and it was for a friends hen party. So my two experiences in Croatia couldn’t have been more different from each other.
Our flights
were to and from London Stanstead with Jet 2, which is one of the closest
airports to me. We set off on Sunday morning so that we could spend a full five
days at Park
Plaza Histria Pula with Jet2holidays.
This explained the Roman influence found all around Pula,
including the food, buildings and languages spoken. Our guide explained that
the people of Pula are very mixed and they are brought up knowing all of the
different languages and cultures from Italy, Yugoslavia and Croatia.
Visit the historic
Landmarks
If you prefer slightly more modern history then make your
way to Motovun. It’s a small medieval walled town situated on the top of a
hill. It makes for gorgeous views overlooking Croatia.
The city of Rovinj makes for a great walking guided tour.
The fishing port city has gorgeous buildings and sea front restaurants. It
makes for the perfect romantic evening.
Visit the different
islands
The great thing about visiting the Pula area is that there
are so many small islands that you can go out and visit for the day.
If you are looking for peace and quiet then make your way to
St Andrew’s Island. Here you will find the Island Hotel Istria, which has
everything you, could ask for. A gorgeous beach, multiple swimming pools,
delicious restaurants and it’s even connected to a second island, which has a
monastery. Perfect for those looking to do more walking.
Explore The Food
Scene.
Food is a major part of any travel for me, so I was
pleasantly surprised to see how much food plays a part of Croatian culture.
If you find yourself on St Andrew’s Island make sure you eat
at restaurant Lanterna. Here I ate a delicious salad starter that convinced me
salads don’t have to be boring.
Finally you should check out Sv. Nikola, Poreč, try their
meat special menu as it comes with the most delicious steak and truffle pasta
dish I’ve ever eaten.
All of the above restaurants were extremely accommodating
for vegetarians and vegans. The kitchens were super efficient in creating meals
suitable for those with dietary requirements.
Other Activities
If you are still looking for something even more unique then
you’ll love the other activities that Istria has to offer. Throughout our time
here, we sampled lot’s of local wine and olive oil.; something that Istrians
are super proud of.
Head to Chiavalon for some extra olive oil tasting in
Vodnjan. Here you can learn all about the different olive oils, how to spot the
fake ones, and buy a few gallons to take home.

Finally, if you have time you must make your way to Karlic Tartufi to go truffle hunting with dogs. Here they have a demonstration kitchen where you are able to sample different foods with truffle. Some of the highlights for me were the truffle scrambled eggs, truffle cheese and truffle honey.
You can also head out with one of the many volunteers and
dogs to go and hunt for truffles, it was truly an honour to be able to spend
this time with the sweet doggies, and it was incredible to see how loved and
well looked after they were.
I would highly recommend booking your flights
to Pula with Jet2.
