A week around Istria, the green, Italian-flavoured peninsula at the head of the Adriatic, a coast of Roman ruins, Venetian towns and truffle-scented hills. Quieter and gentler than Dalmatia, this is a route of pastel harbours and pine-fringed islands, oyster fjords and wild capes. Expect a great Roman amphitheatre and Byzantine mosaics, national-park islands and clear coves, a characterful northern voyage.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
