Radoši kod Žbandaja is located in the fertile hinterland of Poreč, just a few minutes' drive from the Adriatic coast. The village is a prime example of 'green Istria', where rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves alternate. The architecture largely consists of renovated stone houses, which today often serve as exclusive holiday villas without losing their rural charm. The region is a center of agrotourism. Visitors can explore the wine roads and taste local varieties such as Malvazija and Teran directly at the winemakers. Equally famous is Istria's liquid gold, olive oil, which in this area is ranked among the best in the world. The quiet paths around the village are well-suited for cycling through untouched nature. In the immediate vicinity, the town of Žbandaj provides all necessary facilities, while nearby Poreč, with its Euphrasian Basilica (UNESCO World Heritage) and lively beaches, provides variety. Radoši is the great retreat for travelers seeking the peace of rural life but still wanting to reach the sea quickly. Local cuisine in the surrounding konobas serves truffle dishes and homemade pasta like Fuži.
