Boljevići is located in the eastern part of the Istrian peninsula, within the municipality of Kršan. The village is characterized by traditional stone architecture and a peaceful rural atmosphere, far from the mass tourism of the coast. Here, visitors can experience authentic Istrian life, closely connected to agriculture and nature. The surroundings of Boljevići offer excellent opportunities for hiking and cycling through dense forests and olive groves. The nearby Kršan Castle is for history enthusiasts, providing a glimpse into the region's medieval past. In local taverns (konoba), guests can taste homemade specialties such as prosciutto (pršut), cheese, and Istrian pasta. Access is best by car via the state road connecting Labin and Pazin. Despite its seclusion, the Adriatic coast is reachable in about 15 to 20 minutes, making Boljevići a well-suited starting point for day trips. It is a place for slow travel, where time seems to have stood still.
