Olive Oil – Poreč’s Liquid Gold

The affluence of the Istrian peninsula is based on olive oil production, a tradition that is over
two thousand years old. The olive, a symbol of peace and health, is considered by many
to be a valuable Mediterranean fruit and its oil has been called liquid gold by those who
live in areas where it is cultivated. The fruit of the olive tree, the stone, gives some of the
healthiest drops of oil. Although olive oil production is divided into various categories of
quality, among the healthiest oils are precisely extra virgin olive oils, rich in vitamins, natural
antioxidants and carotene. Olive oil roads lead you directly from the sea to olive groves, oil
mills and cellars. They include the olive-growing areas of the hinterland surrounding Poreč
with its idyllic roads, paths and trails.

Grape vines have been cultivated all over Istria and as such
in the area of Poreč since the time before Christ. Thanks
to its fertile soil and mild Mediterranean climate with long,
hot summers and short, mild winters, Istria has the ideal
conditions for the development of grape cultivation. The
wine roads will enchant you with their natural beauty and
all the colours, scents and tastes will guide you to new
explorations. All our accommodation facilities are situated
in the magical blue-green Mediterranean, in the well-tended
surroundings in the immediate vicinity of the sea and not
far from downtown Poreč which can be reached on foot,
by bike, bus, tourist train or boat. You can choose between
12 hotels, 4 apartment villages and 4 campsites. Each is
unique in its own way, offering their visitors an extraordinary
experience.
