💡 Tips

  • Use Kosinožići as a quiet base; you are only 10 minutes from Poreč but away from the coastal hustle and evening noise.
  • Explore the Parenzana trail, a former railway line now well-suited for cycling or walking through scenic Istrian vineyards.
  • Head to Porto Bussola for a 'wild' swimming experience; it's a rocky coastal area shaded by pine trees, away from resort crowds.
  • Visit the Baredine Cave during midday; the constant 14°C temperature inside is a great escape from the summer heat.
  • Look for local producers in the village selling olive oil directly from their homes, it is often better and cheaper than in town.
