Travel Guide - Istrian Peninsula, Croatia - Beer, Food and Nature

Let’s go straight to the point: pros and cons of visiting Croatian seaside and Istria peninsula!


A street in Novigrad City

Pros

  • Genuine, mostly untouched nature
  • Wannabe European culture which is as close to Europe as it can possibly be
  • Good traffic connections. We can debate the price of highway but it does the job well
  • Food, beer and wine
  • Croatian women - it’s all a preference but I find Slavic women quite pretty. Melania Trump comes to mind. She is Slovenian, a same street neighbor with Istrians
  • affordable prices compared to more luxurious destinations in Croatia (Dubrovnik, Hvar)
  • rich cultural heritage, amphitheater in Pula, hilltop towns such as Motovun, Roč, Hum
  • many, many film and music festivals
  • most people, especially the young, speak decent English

Cons

  • You could go to a more exotic place such as Indonesia
  • marijuana and prostitution are not legalized
  • hillbilly minority of population
  • you will stand out - 99% of homogeneous White Croatian Catholics
  • Favorit - most popular macro lager - Yuck!

Beer

San Servolo - not the best but one of longer existing craft breweries in Croatia, I hope to review it soon. Istria boasts to be a land of wine!

Food

Truffle based dishes are a delicacy!
