Property in Istria

The Istrian Peninsula is the most northern part of Croatia, and borders the country of Slovenia. This part of the country has proven very popular with visitors, thanks to its beautiful countryside, richly forested interior and attractive coastline. 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.

Property in Kvarner

Further down the coast from Istria comes the middle section of Croatia, the Kvarner region.

Opatija and Crikvenica have a great deal of charm left over from former times. Opatija, especially, is home to some lovely buildings dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when it was a fashionable seaside resort. Crikvenica is known for its long beach and mild climate, which is reputed to be beneficial for those with respiratory problems.

One of the most important (and busiest) Croatian ports, Rijeka, is also located here. This is pretty much a starting-point for anyone wanting to travel by ferry further down the coast or out to the islands. Also to be found in this part of the country are the islands of Krk, Pag, Rab and Cres.
