The Istrian seaside has about 400 kilometres of coastline bathed in a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers. When you travel from the coast towards the hinterland, the climate becomes colder and it is possible to find snow on the slopes of Učka Mountain in Istria's northern interior. The temperature in the winter is about 10°C, while the average summer temperature is 23°C.
The largest city in Istria is Pula, located at the southern most tip of the peninsula. Both the eastern and western coasts of Istria are dotted with larger and smaller cities and towns which breathe with deep blue lungs and are closely tied to the sea while the hinterland is home to smaller towns which abound with interesting architecture, greenery and farm tourism possibilities. Both blue and green Istria boast a wealth of vineyards, olive groves and majestic forests.
