Istria County, Croatia - Pula, Rovinj, and Motovun; three incredible destinations on the Istrian Peninsula of Croatia. The western coast of Croatia is home to the beautiful region of Istria, which is often overlooked by Croatian tourists.

After leaving the capital of Zagreb, we set out on our Croatian road trip, and our first stop was Pula. Luckily, we had a wonderful local Croatian friend Renata, to take us around the Pula Arena and give a quick tour of Pula. We eat a traditional Croatian lunch, and enjoy some delicious gelato before having to leave Pula for Rovinj.

From Pula, we checked into our accommodation in Rovinjsko Selo, nearby the popular Rovinj, Croatia, and then drove into Rovinj for sunset. Rovinj is such a beautiful little city. It is also more popular for travelers than Pula.
The next morning, we leave Rovinj for Motovun to experience an Istria Food Tour around the amazing Istrian countryside with Eat Istria ( eatistria.com).
Our day started at the foothills of Motovun; a fairytale-like village in Istria. We started at Mira Tartufi farm, before heading out into the Istrian forest to hunt for truffles!

After the first leg of our Istria food tour, we leave Motovun and drive through the Istrian countryside to try some delicious and overwhelming, haha, goat cheeses!

Finally, we finish our Istria food tour with lunch at a traditional Croatian Konoba - or local farm-to-table tavern. We try fresh pasta and meats that are 100% from this farm. Amazing!

We finish the day back in Rovinj for sunset again. I join my local friend Ella for more delicious gelato at her favorite spot right in the heart of Rovinj old town and then we hangout along the coast.

We cap off an amazing experience her in Istria with a swim in the Adriatic Sea. This region of Croatia is absolutely incredible.

@@emericksoutheast8719 Food in Croatia is good, but people are horrible, just looking how to take your money as high they can. Never ever more croatia for me and my family..
You may not know that the real inhabitants of POLA-Pula were expelled and slaughtered and their property stolen.
Croatia carried out terrible ethnic cleansing and genocide against Italians.

As long as you eat your tacos off a truck they'll be amazing!!!
I just got back from Croatia biking and boating. It is one of the most beautiful countries I have seen!
Was it safe? Would you travel here with teens?
Bros. Rovinj is my hometown!
@andreaornelas7455 Why wouldn't you? What are your concerns? It is not Columbia😄
@@andreaornelas7455 Probably the safest country in central, eastern and southern Europe.
I’m loving Croatia. I have never thought about this country, but it reminds me of my home state, California. It has riches around every corner. This is one for my bucket list.
A lot of Dalmatians actually moved to California at the beginning of the 20th century. They've estalished a lot of vineyards in the Napa valley.
@@prodbydonat6595 And the fishing industry in San Pedro
I visited the southern region of the country called Dalmatia, flew into Zadar and went to Dubrovnik over 3 weeks but there's so much more to see! There just wasn't enough time to see it all, I haven't even seen the South properly yet. Next year I'm going to this western part which you portrayed so wonderfully...and hopefully I'll do proper island hopping!
Gorgeous country altogether, amazing people, culture, food!
ooooh my. the people, the nature, the culture, the food!!! this is living! forget San Diego, I am moving there! oh wow. Thank you for the video! Croatia, I am a bid fan now. Such a beautiful place.
Gorgeous country Croatia! Wow, one of the most breathtaking places I've ever seen.

@@fisarmonicatriestina3885 I'm so sorry to hear this. This is horrendous! I had no idea and thanks for sharing this information here. I only knew about the Croatians being Nazi collaborators in World War II killing the Jews in their midst.... Sorry for your pain and suffering.
@@fisarmonicatriestina3885 that hapened after 1945,after Italy lost the war...but you didn't mention what hapened betven 1941-1945! How manny Slovenians and Croats were killed by Italians! And Musolini instal the Nazi Croats on power in Croatia! That's not important? Only your story is right?
@@fisarmonicatriestina3885Trst is Croatia
@@fisarmonicatriestina3885Ocito ne znas o cemu govoris, jos stignes izbrisati tu glupost koju si napisao.
Absolutely beautiful! I've seen lots of images of Croatia, but this video shows off just how gorgeous this part of the country is. Wow! I had no idea the largest Roman colosseum in the world is there. And the food looks unreal. So many amazing pasta dishes!
Its not the largest Roman colosseum, he messed up there. Its actually the 6th largest but its the best preserved one.
It's the largest intact
Croatia holds so many surprises, I so so so badly need to go back
A place where quality of life is still intact. Slower pace, excellent food and great weather.
I am from Pula and i wouldnt want to be born anywhere else, the perfect city and country for me 🇭🇷❤️
Wow.Spectacular! What a perfect day.That food.The coliseum,the historical setting, the warm people! It really is ❤️
I am from Croatia, Zagreb, and Istra is a heaven on Earth!
Food, nature, people..everything is so magical 🥰
Istra je terra magica 💙🍀
Hvala Vam...
...iz Istre 😄😄
My heart is melting, how beautiful a country and the people, hospitality, and amazing food. ✌️❤️🌱🌿☘️🌻🤗
Najljepša moja Hrvatska 🇭🇷
I never knew Croatia was so beautiful. The food looks great and the people friendly and inviting.. Great episode thank you 😊
It is official.
I, The Wornout Wrench, have declared that Gareth Leonard, Travel Deeper to be the best vlog on TH-cam.
All those in favor , hit the thumbs up.
Love this channel!
Hi Gareth, thank you so much for having made such a beautiful tribute to my beautiful home region Istria and my home town Pula. It was a pleasure to guide you through my home town.
I am glad to see that you went to the Stancija Kumparička. If you managed to come earlier to Pula that day I would have take you to the fresh food market where they sell the Kumparička goat cheese, so you make a little contribution to their selling point in too. But anyway, you were lucky enough to see how they produce it. I love their cheese.
Thank you for making a tribute to my watercolor workshops on the beach.
Cheers from Pula.
SOOOO GORGEOUS there!!!! Everyone Seems Very Kind and Friendly!!! You Are Eating Good In The Neighborhood!!! That Swim at the End of The Day Looks AMAZINGLY FABULOUS and REFRESHING!!! Western Upstate NY here ❤
Croatia is beautiful
Exactly, my friend I propose this, I also do travel and adventure videos welcome to my house.

What a beautiful country....
Croatia is next on my list of places to go , great photography, looks beautiful
You have to go, fkn amazing place of beauty, great people, amazing food and a super safe country
Be aware of Taxi drivers and tiefs on the beach. We didnt ask abot the price from airport in Split to Bashka Woda, which was 68km, and finaly there he said 4500 kuna, around 620 us dollars. Evrything ended in fight between us where police came and asked him "HOW 4500 and why you doing this". Both of us has been placed in polisstation for 4 hours. In the end the price was 1600 kuna,,,,,,, still very high in the country where people earn around 5000kuna in the months....👎👎👎👎
👍🇭🇷❤️

Oh gosh this place is so freakin beautiful. You did such an amazing job with this video 👏🏻😍
You look so good my friend, how are you am from Kenya 🇰🇪, Welcome to my house I also do travel and adventure videos, much love.
It really is, you have to come and see😍
the fact that i’m from croatia and have tried all of the food you have tasted and it still makes me hungry
Pula is awesome! Restaurant Veritas is top notch quality fine dining with reasonable prices. Service is friendly and familiar, an al-around must visit spot in Pula! Daniel the waiter (and future owner) and his mom and dad are awesome and kind people. Smaller family restaurant at it's best!
Is that Ella Dvornik? The daughter of our famous Dino Dvornik singer and songwriter? RIP Dino
Freakin beautiful! It's like King's landing real life
Don't be ridiculous. King's Landing scenaty was actually Dubrovnik, about 450 miles southeast down the coast.
Hahahah wait until this guy finds out that Kings Landing IS in Croatia
What a beautiful place! And the fresh natural foods, yum.. 🌹😍
Whoa, omgg, what a beautiful country! Amazing place!!!🙏👌👍💖❤
Elle is actually called Ella, daughter of famous Croatian musician/artist Dino Dvornik 😜
And granddaughter of famous Croatian actor Boris Dvornik!
I hope you had a wonderful time. Greetings from the capital of beautiful Croatia, Zagreb.
Now I am hungry with all these food. Very nice, I've lived in a Tuscan themed property before. Growing lots of tomatoes and Basil.. no truffles though in this side of the world. Very nice! 🤩🤩🤩 Place
Really like the vid! I've only been to Greece on the Balkans. Time to seriously consider Croatia!
It's the Mediterranean...not balkan
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Croatia is not "on the Balkans", Istria is deffinetly not "on the Balkans".
In geographic terms croatia and greece are part of "balkan peninsula".
@@renato147101 No. For one, it is impossible to determin where the Balkan "peninsula" ends, since that landmass is not a penisula. The lenght of its shore is shorter than the lenght of its land "border" and it therefore doesn't fit the definition of the peninsula
Balkan is in Asia,Turkmenistan,where Balkan people live.
Greece is on Peleponisian peninsula,while Croatia is on Istrian peninsula,Ukraine is on Crimean peninsula.That's the truth.
There is no Balkan peninsula,its a fraud,made for chauvinistic and extremist ideological purposes of destroying European identity,heritage and history of Croatian,Greek,Bulgarian people,who are European nations!
God bless you! 🕊️🇭🇷🇪🇺🕊️
What an amazing life Gareth has. Hes inspired me. Been sick for a month now, hard to breathe. Never expected this to hit me, Im athletic and only 37. Watching his vlogs helps take my mind to a better place. When I get my health back imma be traveling like crazy! If youre healthy really appreciate it everyday!
I'am a Croatian and wish you good helth .Please come to auer land.The fresh air,see breath,salty water,green woods,food will make you better more qoukly.
GOD BLESS YOU AND HEAL YOU

I feel like I was just on VaCa for 20+ mins… How beautiful of an area of the world… The food looks amazing and the only thing I didn’t like about this video… I’m not actually there seeing and tasting everything…
💙
Thank you for sharing on your Amazing journey to Zagreb Croatia
Connected from Raha Makisig Vlog
Great video
The coliseum in Pula is the 7th largest Roman arena. The Colosseum in Rome is the largest.
Croatia is beautiful! I feel like I want to go visit one day. When you go to travel, how do you find a local guide?
You have to, no need for a guide, almost all Croatians speak English, you will enjoy it more this way, do and go as you please
Fantastic 😊
Mr G the cinematography of this video was off the chain👏👏👏
Wowwwww ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏👍
Hvala puno
Hi, my friend hope you are doing well I also do travel and adventure videos welcome to my house much love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Gareth you are doing so much for Croatian tourism with your videos.
great stuff
Nice video, good camera work
Wow nice video! 💙💜💙💜💙
Love your videos, personality and attitude.
Very nice!!
That colosseum was amazing, yet a bit expensive to go inside .The truffles looked good .I never had them just the truffle oil on french fries.The goat cheese looked interesting but not a fan of "stinky" cheese. I love how you really try to capture the country, culture and people.
9€ is not expensive to walk around, inside and in underground of Arena Pula...
Very Grateful
fantastic
Majikal Place and the Food Yummy 😋
Thank you once again you left me drooling. I am going to have to buy some goat cheese to stuff it in my chicken.
Gareth I am happy you had such an amazing time. Croatia is on my map. I plan on going there at the end of summer. I am going to the areas you went. Thank you for the ideas and wonderful adventures.
End of the summer is the best time to visit. Adriatic is warm..and less crowded. Best time for us locals. 😁
Anywhere you go in Croatia is amazing, you will love it
Español in Croatia. Love it!!!
What an experience! I love, love, love that all the foods are crafted locally with a passion for the land. It gives you a full appreciation for the work it takes to get and make food truly special...and so good that you would "rip my shirt off and go run around in a valley" 😄 Can't wait to see what else this country makes you do, Gareth!
That food.....drives me crazy. So many truffles and so little time.
I am sorry Gareth, I wish i could appreciate the whole video... but that smile on your face under water ate down the whole vlog! It's the most beautiful face I have ever seen under water!
Bliss!
Wow love this video never been there
Just found your videos. Love them...
