💡 Tips
- Wear sturdy sandals or sneakers for the hike down to the beaches, as the paths are often steep and rocky.

- Ride the 'Proština' trail (bike path 343) to find hidden access points to the most secluded coves.
- Visit the nearby hilltop village of Mutvoran for a spectacular bird's-eye view of the Raša Bay.
- Go snorkeling early in the morning when the water is calmest for the best visibility of local marine life.

Peruški is located on the southeastern coast of Istria, in the municipality of Marčana. Perched on a hill, the village provides wide views over the Kvarner Gulf and the islands of Cres and Lošinj. Peruški has maintained its original character as a fishing and farming village, featuring narrow streets and ancient stone houses typical of this Istrian region. What makes Peruški special is its access to wild, untouched beaches. A steep path leads from the village down to the coast, where one can find crystal-clear water and secluded rocky ledges. There are no large hotels or loud beach bars here, making it great for independent travelers and nature lovers. The coastal landscape is characterized by Mediterranean scrub and fragrant herbs like rosemary and sage. The surrounding area is excellent for long walks and mountain bike tours along the coast. The nearby fishing village of Krnica is known for its excellent seafood restaurants. Peruški is a well-suited destination for travelers wishing to discover the 'wild side' of Istria, far from the crowded promenades of Poreč or Rovinj. Here, one can still find the true silence of the Adriatic and the scent of untouched nature.
