Magical Archipelago trail
Vrsar is one of the most romantic Istrian towns, in which the legendary seducer Casanova stayed on two occasions intoxicated by the Istrian Teran. Enjoy the lovely Vrsar, then enjoy the shade of the Konti forest, and find a well-deserved refreshment in the village of Marasi at the end of the trail.
Teran trail
From the waterfront in Rabac climb up to Labin, then drive along the steep slopes along which you can find top Istrian wine cellars. This trail requires a bit more effort, which will pay off when you taste a glass of ruby red Teran together.

Enjoy the exotic animals that freely roam the island and the Roman ruins right by the sea. You will have a feeling that you have the entire island just for yourselves, at least for a few hours.
