Antonci is a typical village in the hinterland of Poreč, located in the gently rolling landscape of western Istria. The village is characterized by agriculture, particularly viticulture and olive oil production, which have a centuries-old tradition here. The 'Terra Rossa', Istria's mineral-rich red soil, gives the wines produced here, such as Malvazija and Teran, their characteristic flavor. The architecture in Antonci consists of a blend of carefully restored old stone houses and modern villas, often used as holiday accommodations. The village has preserved its rural tranquility, even though it is only about 5 kilometers from the lively beaches and cultural attractions of Poreč. This makes Antonci a handy retreat for travelers wishing to experience authentic Istria without sacrificing proximity to the sea. In the surrounding area, numerous cycling and hiking trails invite visitors to explore the green landscape. Many local farms offer tastings of homemade olive oil, honey, and truffle products. The proximity to the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, a UNESCO World Heritage site, allows for exciting cultural trips. Antonci perfectly embodies the peaceful lifestyle of the Istrian peninsula.
