Krnica is situated in the southeastern part of Istria on a plateau overlooking the sea. The village is a good location for those wishing to escape mass tourism. The architecture is typically Istrian, featuring stone houses and a central church dedicated to St. Roch. Just 3 kilometers away is Krnički Porat, a deep coastal inlet that serves as a safe harbor for local fishermen. The port is famous for its top-quality seafood, especially scampi and fresh fish, which are served in the local restaurants.
