Flengi is located in western Istria, on the road between Vrsar and the Lim Fjord. The village is known among foodies as the 'village of suckling pig.' Traditional taverns (konobas) line the main road, where meat specialties are prepared over open fires according to old customs. This gastronomic tradition attracts visitors year-round who seek authentic Istrian cuisine in a rustic atmosphere. The surroundings of Flengi are characterized by rolling hills, oak forests, and fertile fields. Just a few kilometers away lies the Lim Fjord (Limski kanal), a protected marine reserve famous for its oyster and mussel farms. Its proximity to the coastal towns of Vrsar and Poreč makes Flengi a popular dinner destination away from tourist hotspots. Cyclists enjoy the paths connecting the village with the hinterland and the coast. The village has maintained its rural charm with stone houses and warm hospitality. Easy access via the Istrian highway (Ypsilon) makes Flengi a great stop on any Istrian tour.
