Included in the itinerary - Private tour of the hidden treasures of the hinterland of Istria.

Its picturesque medieval cities scattered in its mountainous hinterland are havens of serenity, and its green landscapes uncannily resemble those of Tuscany. You can discover the region's riches during the visit to Groznjan, a small picturesque village that has become the meeting point for many artists and then Motovun, a small medieval city set on a hill that offers an exceptional panorama of the surrounding vineyards. The frescoes of the Dance Macabre dating from 1474 in the chapel of Beram - located 20 minutes from Motovun - complete this day of sightseeing. You will also taste truffle, a local speciality, with a typical meal.
