General Information

Istria

Istria is the most developed tourist region in Croatia. Between two to three million holidaymakers visit the peninsula every year, making it the country’s most popular tourist attraction. Besides being one of Europe’s sunniest spots, its 3600 square kilometres also make it the largest peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. Istria’s small attractive coastal towns with their Mediterranean flair, cosmopolitan character and predominantly pedestrian town centres are a delight to stroll around, shop in and to enjoy excellent food. In contrast, the region’s picturesque hilly interior of forests, pastures and vineyards along with peaceful villages and farms are a joy to experience on foot or by bike.

The country’s currency is Kuna. The rate of exchange for Euro to Kuna is approx. 1:7.
A maximum of 2000 Kuna can be taken in or out of the country. The value added tax for goods bought in Croatia can be refunded should an invoice exceed 500 Kuna. A tax refund for fuel is not possible!
