Dračevac is a photogenic settlement in the western part of Istria, only about 6 kilometers from the famous coastal town of Poreč. The village embodies the peaceful side of the peninsula and provides a wonderful contrast to the lively bustle on the beaches. The architecture is characterized by typical Istrian stone houses, which have often been lovingly restored. The surroundings of Dračevac are a paradise for cyclists and hikers, as numerous paths lead through the gentle rolling hills. Here, you can experience local agriculture firsthand, especially the cultivation of olives and grapes, which are among the best in the region. Many local producers offer tastings of their first-class oils and wines directly on site. Due to its proximity to Poreč, cultural attractions such as the Euphrasian Basilica or the lively waterfront promenade are quickly accessible. Dračevac is thus a well-suited starting point for guests who want to spend the day by the sea but enjoy the evening in the silence and freshness of the Istrian hinterland. A small local park and St. James Church form the heart of the village.
