Just here, in Istria, the Adriatic Sea has somehow reached the final point of its travel into the depths of the continent – as though it decided to stop in its exploits only when it came across the most perfect landscape. The sea has always had this effect of enchantment. It demanded awe. It was always found high on the scale of both longing and fears. That huge surface attracts us in an exciting, almost forbidden, way – whether we looked at it on the atlas pages, on the photographs or live, from a small hill, viewing point or road, while passing through the areas where it opens to us. We want the sea, we return to the sea. The Adriatic is a special sea – we will continue to repeat this worn out old phrase. It is in a close and intimate hug with the mainland, it is approachable and friendly towards almost everyone. And, exactly there, in Istria, it somehow reached its deepest point - as though it decided to stop in its exploits only when it came across the most perfect landscape. Indeed, as though it has been, looking at this peninsula, recognised and embraced from three sides, constantly caressed for thousands of years by the warmth of its crystal clear waves, holding it gently, but safely, just like a mother holds her child during his first bathing. Visitors to Istria, those regular and those future ones, are very lucky! As though it is not enough to enjoy just the landscapes or small gastro perfections - no, the sea, too, has to be among what is most beautiful! And, just there, there is the Adriatic, clean and clear, warm and placid. The boundaries of Terra Magica – obviously – are not spared from the equal beauty; if not even greater than the one it hides in its heart. And here, at the Istrian coast, not only a step falters, but also the look and, regularly also the breath! It rarely occurs that, no matter where in the world, the horizon line adjusts to the eye, forms so easily, and dovetails two, almost to the nuance, identical blue colours. And, as if the serenity of the scene itself is not enough, the touch of a warm stone, the fragrance of pine trees, the sound of the orchestra of crickets and the taste of salt, imposingly complement the palette of senses of this place, in which two perfections meet. GASTRO The unbearable lightness of enjoyment The Istrian cuisine was – only until recently – one of the best kept secrets of the Mediterranean. And every well-kept secret is the sweetest at the very moment it is discovered! ISTRIA The magic of colours and fragrances under the patina of tradition Istria is something one looks at, inhales, smells, listens to and feels – those who live there are rediscovering and experiencing it every day; those who are not acquainted with it yet are dreaming and fantasising about it and those who have visited it at least once are always coming back to it

Jadransko je more baš tu, u Istri, nekako doseglo krajnju točku svog putovanja u dubinu kontinenta - kao da je odlučilo zaustaviti se u svom pohodu tek kada naiđe na jsavršen krajolik. More je uvijek opčinjavalo. Zahtjevalo strahopoštovanje. Uvijek je bilo nekako u isto vrijeme visoko na listi čežnji i strahova. Ta velika površina nas privlači na uzbudljiv, gotovo nedozvoljen način - gledali je na stranicama atlasa, na fotografijama ili uživo sa nekog brežuljka, vidikovca ili ceste, usputno prolazeći krajevima gdje nam se ono otvara. More želimo, moru se vraćamo. Jadran je posebno more - opetovano ćemo ponavlajti izlizanu frazu. U prisnom je i bliskom zagrljaju s kopnom, pristupačno je i prijateljski nastrojeno gotovo prema svima. I baš tu, u Istri, nekako je doseglo svoju najzavučeniju točku - kao da je odlučilo zaustaviti se u svom pohodu na kontinent tek kada naiđe na savršen krajolik. Uistinu, kao da ga je u vidu ovog poluotoka prepoznalo i obgrlilo ga s tri strane, milujući ga već tisućljećima toplinom svojih kristalno čistiih valova, držeći ga nježno ali sigurno kao što majka drži svoje dijete za vrijeme prvih kupanja. Posjetitelji Istre, oni stalni i oni budući, baš imaju sreće! Kao da nije dovoljno uživati u pejzažima ili u malim gastro savršenstvima - ne, i more treba biti ono najljepše! I baš se tu našao Jadran, čist i bistar, topao i miran. Niti rubovi Terre Magice - očito - nisu pošteđeni ljepote, jednake ako ne i veće od one koju skriva u svome srcu. I tu, na istarskoj obali, ne zastaje samo korak, već i pogled, a redovito i dah! Rijetko gdje na svijetu će se linija horizonta prilagoditi oku, formirati toliko lako, priljubiti dvije gotovo u nijansu iste plave površine jednu uz drugu. I kao da spokoj samog prizora nije dovoljan, dodir toplog kamena, miris borova, zvuk orkestra cvrčaka i okus soli nametljivo upotpunjuju paletu osjeta ovog mjesta na kojem se susreću dva savršenstva. GASTRO Nepodnošljiva lakoća uživanja PIstarska kuhinja bila je - sve do nedavno - jedna od najbolje čuvanih tajni Mediterana. A svaka dobro čuvana tajna najslađa je upravo u trenutku kada se otkrije! ISTRA Čarolije boja i mirisa pod patinom tradicije Istra se gleda, udiše, miriše, sluša i osjeća - oni koji žive u njoj svakodnevno je ponovo otkrivaju i doživljavaju, oni koji je nisu upoznali sanjaju je i maštaju o njoj, a oni koji su je bar jednom posjetili uvijek joj se vraćaju
