Activity
Why it is worth your time
From here, the road leads away from the coast and up into Istria's green interior, toward the hill town of Motovun and the vineyards around it. It is a full change of scenery from the beaches, worth the drive for the view from the top. Set out early to make the most of a day split between coast and hills.
