The secret’s out about Croatia’s spectacular Dalmatian coastline, but Istria—the peninsula bordering Slovenia and a quick hop from Italy’s Trieste—is starting to lure American travelers to its Adriatic beaches and verdant interior that’s been christened the “new Tuscany.”
The vibe here is decidedly Italian. You’ll find lots of prosciutto and
local wines on the menu, and Italian is the second language. In fact,
the ancient Romans were so besotted with Istria that they called it the
“terra magica.” But a big difference from the Italian boot: the tourist
crowds and prices. Hilltop villages are yours for the strolling,
truffles, yours for the foraging.
