Istria

The peninsula features diverse terrain patterns, from the steep coastal cliffs to green valleys, mountains reaching 1,396 meters, and 539 kilometers of shoreline.

The region underwent multiple transitions of power, from Roman control through Venetian rule to Austrian governance, until its division between Croatia and Slovenia after Yugoslavia.

The local population maintains traditions through seasonal festivals, markets with regional products, and gatherings centered around wine production and truffle hunting.

The Mediterranean climate provides mild temperatures year-round, with summer averages of 24°C and winter temperatures rarely dropping below 6°C along the coast.

The Mirna River Valley contains specific soil conditions that create an environment where white and black truffles grow throughout different seasons.
