4 Ideas for a Winter Weekend in Northwestern Istria

18 Dec 2019
#ColoursOfistria, Holidays, Northwestern Istria, Winter
by Petra Pekica
 Like many other busy people, I sincerely look forward to every weekend. As early as midweek I start thinking about where to escape and how to use those two days of holy rest. A trip to the northwestern part of Istria always turns out to be a great idea, even in winter. 

Holidays by the Sea

Even winter has its own peculiarities that can be enjoyed, I have to admit it, as much as I am not a fan of the cold and the snow. I do, however, like to drink a glass of fragrant mulled wine and eat a good sausage, but joining the hustle and bustle of Zagreb’s Advent is incomprehensible to me. Fortunately, ever since I’ve had my own car, I can afford to have a cup of delicious mulled wine at a Christmas Fair by the sea, watching the sunset and enjoying the smells of the sea. Many places by the sea are also worth a visit during this Advent time. Do take advantage of the weekend and visit the Umag holiday manifestation UMAGic holidays.

The Adventures of Winter 

If you cannot imagine 2 to 3 months without cycling or at least an occasional run, the favorable Mediterranean climate should lure you to this part of Istria. Prepare your bike well or bring quality running shoes because the biking and running trails of Northwestern Istria are more than ready during the winter. Take advantage of this cooler weather and clear your airways in the Mediterranean landscapes of Buje, Brtonigla, Umag and Novigrad!

A Detox Weekend in Sauna

Cold weather and viruses go hand in hand. Our body is succumbs to winter ailments for various reasons. A good wellness program helps me get rid of the accumulated toxins especially one that involves various types of sauna. Umag is my destination when I need a quality detox weekend!

Seasonal Delicacies 

When everything on the surface is asleep, the harvest comes from the sea meadows: the winter months are the season of catching the highest quality sole, squid and shellfish! Restaurants in Northwestern Istria celebrate the winter seafood harvesting aptly, preparing ever more imaginative gourmet dished based on the delicious local seafood year in, year out. Take advantage of a winter weekend to visit one of them!
