Istria Blue seas, white stone and the green interior make up the colour scheme of Istria, the largest peninsula in Croatia. The blueness of its shoreline is contrasted by the lush greenery of its interior and the tiny, “acropolian” towns which, themselves somewhere between waking and sleeping, erase that thin line that divides the real from the illusion. And turn into your very own story. The heart-shaped peninsula reaching deep into the clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea is a hidden garden of beauty which opens the door to the sunny and warm Mediterranean. Multicultural and hospitable, this is an area where wide-ranging diversities have come together to form a happy union. Istria’s crystal clear sea, clean shores and ports, its lively fishing boats and teeming narrow stone streets exude the true charm of the Mediterranean. Small, picturesque medieval towns perched on the peaks of its hills emanate the peace and gentleness of landscapes that irresistibly evoke the most beautiful parts of Tuscany or Provence. Who knows who was the first to call Istria “the Magic land”- “Terra magica”: the people of the ancient Mediterranean civilization, the Celts, the Histri or, most likely, the Romans. Nevertheless, all these nations and their cultures have disappeared, but Istria has remained, with all its magic – the magic you will feel at every step, in every touch…in a glass of the Istrian wine Teran, in a drop of the Istrian olive oil, in the taste of the Istrian brandy Biska... The magic of Istria is in its energy you must give yourself up to. Let the Istrian energy slide in its little towns – the Vrsar, Motovun, Buzet acropolis, in front of the mosaics of the Euphrasy’s Basilica in Poreč, whilst watching the sunset over Rovinj, or sailing amongst the islands of the Brioni Archipelago, or standing in the centre of the Roman forum in Pula. Search for the Magic Istria in its hinterland, in the truffles aroma from the Mirna valley, in front of the walls of the tiny town of Roč at the foot of Ćićarija, on the hillsides of the Učka Mountain…. Istria is a peninsula full of peculiarities, inspirations and myths. Listen briefly to its century-long story. It is a story that has nowhere else been so successfully and masterly interwoven into the present time, into Istria of today: a modern, modest, precious, touristic part… Feel the rise of a mistral near Umag, peek into the Lim Fjord near Rovinj, recognize the Brioni islands near Pula by their diplomatic history, soak up the power of the sun and the wind on the most southerly cape - Kamenjak. Enjoy Istria – it is the best thing to do to feel the light, gentle quivering of the soul intoxicated with Istria and – to be happy. Istria – Terra Magica is wherever you go, whatever you see, touch or feel. Article by Vanja Kovacevic

Informacije i rezervacije e-mail: info@macrocruise.com ISTRA Tko zna tko je Istru prvi nazvao ‘Čarobna zemlja' - Terra Magica? Narodi stare mediteranske civilizacije, Kelti, Histri ili najvjerojatnije Rimljani? To i nije toliko važno, svi su ti narodi i njihove kulture nestali, a ostala je Istra, sa svojom magijom. Magijom koju ćete osjetiti na svakom koraku, u svakom dodiru... U čaši istarskoga terana, u kapi istarskoga maslinova ulja, u punoći istarske rakije biske... Osjetiti rađanje maestrala pokraj Umaga, zaviriti u Limski kanal pokraj Rovinja, prepoznati državničku povijest Brijunskih otoka pokraj Pule, napiti se snagom sunca i vjetra na najjužnijem rtu Kamenjaku. Prepustiti se Istri - to je najbolje, osjetiti tihe i lagane drhtaje duše, što se opija Istrom i - biti sretan.
