Your day begins in Labin Old Town, a charming historic hilltop settlement perched above the coast. Wander cobbled streets, admire local galleries, and enjoy time to take photos or simply soak in the atmosphere of this lively artistic community. Stop at the Fortica viewpoint for panoramic views over Labin, Rabac Bay, and the Kvarner coastline.
Next, descend toward Plomin Bay and stop at Plomin Luka (Copacabana Beach) for a relaxed coffee and homemade sandwich break by the sea. This quiet local spot offers beautiful views and a peaceful moment to recharge before continuing.
A short drive brings you to Plomin Old Town, a tranquil medieval settlement with roots stretching back over 2,000 years. Stroll the narrow stone lanes and enjoy the slow rhythm of this historic hill village. Afterward, make a brief photo stop at the nearby Plomin Viewpoint for sweeping views over the bay.
After Plomin, continue to Rabac’s Girandella Beach, where you’ll have 2.5 hours to relax by the sea. Stroll along the coast, swim in the turquoise waters, or enjoy lunch at a seaside restaurant. This extended stop allows for a truly unhurried experience, letting you soak in the beauty of the coast at your own pace.
The final stop is the Dubrova Sculpture Park, an open-air museum featuring monumental works by international artists set in a serene natural environment. Take your time to walk among the sculptures, photograph your favorite pieces, and enjoy the integration of art and nature.
Throughout the day, you’ll travel in a small group, allowing for a more personal and comfortable experience. There is no rigid schedule; the focus is on discovering authentic places, enjoying meaningful time in each town, and experiencing Istria beyond the typical tourist routes.
