Add your own reviewGreat intro to Istria
The accommodation on the trip was first class, small family run hotels with excellent staff in very good locations.
The bikes were very good and well equipped. Istria is a lovely place. The food was very good, particularly the seafood, as you’d expect. The wine was also very good too.
I was a little disappointed by the cycling, I think if you are a regular cyclist on British roads it won’t faze you, but I’m used to quiet road and cycle path cycling. About 1/2 the trip is on roads, some of which are quiet, but others have fast traffic and are quite busy. I managed it, but it did mean some of it wasn’t as relaxing as I thought it would be. Others doing the same trip, who were more used to road cycling, thought the traffic was fine, so don’t let that put you off.
The scenery around Porec , and the final day’s cycling was lovely, and on paths and quiet roads. Other days were more mixed, with the towns rather than the cycling being the highlight.
Most Inspirational Moment
Rovinj was beautiful.
Cycling in Istria
This week-long self-guided cycling trip was excellent. Cycling through olive groves, along rocky shores and sampling tasty local food. Typical distances were 30K a day suggested, but there is great scope for extending (or shortening) routes to suit yourself. Directions were generally good, and accommodation was excellent along the way in very friendly hotels in Fazana (especially!) Rovinj and Porec.

Advice for Potential Travellers
A detour to Motovun was beautiful but a challenging cycle. Bring insect repellent for the countryside cycles.
