💡 Tips

Be sure to rent a car, as the village is about 15 km from Pula and public transport is infrequent.
Use Divšići as a quiet base to explore Southern Istria's 'Olive Oil Roads'; look for signs saying 'Cesta maslinovog ulja'.
Visit Pula early in the morning to beat the crowds, then retreat to the cool hinterland by midday.
Visit the nearby Glavani Park if you're feeling adventurous, it's one of the best adventure parks in the region.
Watch for OPG (family farm) signs on houses to buy fresh honey directly from local producers.

Divšići is located in the southern part of Istria and is a well-suited example of a traditional farming village in the region. The surroundings are characterized by red soil (Terra Rossa), on which excellent wines and olive oils thrive. The village's architecture still showcases many old stone houses with typical 'baladur' terraces. In recent years, Divšići has developed into a hub for agritourism, where visitors can enjoy authentic Istrian cuisine with homemade pasta (fuži), truffles, and local prosciutto. The village provides an oasis of peace, just a short drive from the historical city of Pula and the beaches of Istria's east coast. Cyclists appreciate the well-maintained trails that lead through forests and along grapevines. The local population proudly maintains their traditions, which is especially evident during regional festivals. It is a place where you can forget the stress of everyday life and enjoy the simplicity of Mediterranean living.
