Pula is the largest town within the Istrian peninsula, the westernmost point of the Republic of Croatia in the heart of the Adriatic Sea. It offers unspoilt natural beauty and is home to many ancient Roman ruins including the magnificent and well-preserved amphitheatre, The Arena, dating back to the 1st century AD.
Boasting a wealth of cultural experiences from gastro tours to discovering prized local truffles, olive oil, cured meats and fresh seafood, to beaches ideal for sun seekers, historical towns and year-round scuba diving, Istria really is the summer destination for 2013.
