The old town of Umag is set on its own riviera, which stretches for about 20km. This is an especially pleasant part of the coastline.
Possibly the last area to come to the attention of the overseas property industry, Istria has seen a sharp growth in property buyers from the EU since the Croatian accession. in the past couple of years. As buyers are keen to find the best deals and discover untouched areas of the country, they have spread north from the bigger cites to discover the resorts and the old Venitian-style towns further up the coast. Low-cost airlines are beginning to fly into Croatia, with Pula in Istria as the main destination airport in the region.
Porec, probably the most popular resort in Istria, dates back some 2,000 years and is well worth a visit, while the town of Rovinj, which was originally on an island, is home to many restaurants and cafés and is also a busy fishing port.
