💡 Tips

Perci is a great, quiet base to explore Istria, but you will definitely need a car or a bike to get around.
The village is surrounded by excellent cycling routes, so renting an e-bike from nearby Poreč is a great idea.
Visit the nearby Baredine Cave (Jama Baredine) early in the day to avoid the summer crowds.
Although close to the coast, evenings here can be pleasantly breezy; bring a light sweater.
Look out for small 'cesta maslinova ulja' (olive oil road) signs to discover hidden local producers.

Perci is located in the western part of Istria, just a few kilometers from the coast and the towns of Poreč and Novigrad. The village belongs to the municipality of Tar-Vabriga, an area world-renowned for its production of excellent olive oil. The landscape around Perci is a gently rolling plateau with red soil (Terra Rossa), handy for agriculture. The village has retained its rural charm, with stone houses and gardens where grapevines grow. For visitors, Perci is a peaceful retreat that still provides quick access to the tourist centers and beaches of Lanterna. Nearby is the Baredine Cave, an impressive underground natural monument. Culinarily, guests can enjoy homemade pasta (fuži), truffle dishes, and the famous Istrian Malvasia in local konobas. Perci is also a well-suited stop for cyclists, as numerous trails connect the village with the surrounding coastal towns and the Mirna Valley. Sunsets over the olive groves with the sea on the horizon are particularly impressive here.
