you are here:
All of us have unspoken wishes that reside somewhere deep inside us; a wish to do something new, experience something we haven’t experienced yet, travel down new paths. However, we often forget these and surrender ourselves to our usual habits. Allow your thoughts to awaken in you a curiosity for something new and open up to the possibility of realizing something you dreamed about long ago. We offer you a world woven with possibilities which will enrich your everyday life. And that deep, unspoken wish will become your reality.
Relax away in the quiet and green of authentic rural estates of inner Istria, enjoy domestic food specialties and fill your vacations with mushroom, grape, and asparagus picking, or take relaxing walks, bicycle rides or hike in the local hills and mountains. - Central Dalmatia
wine tasting, rural tourism, Istria, Croatia Dalmatian hinterland (Dalmatinska Zagora) Regardless of where your interests lie, whether it be in nature, the mountains, the river or the history which has left its traces, you won’t be bored. A piece of wood, a carving knife, spade or scythe, working in the fields or vineyard, feeding the farm animals, will not only give you an opportunity to forget your everyday life but will be the best way to spend an unusual day. Your stay in village households, in the company of your hosts will give you great pleasure. Allow yourself to be inspired by the silence of the defiant silhouettes of the surrounding mountains, with the fresh mountain air opening your appetite. The cuisine of the rustic Zagora leaves no one indifferent. It is itself a special story of the times and people who created it. Village paths are ideal for walking or bike riding. Many of them take your through green woods and along the river. Sometimes they take you to the heights of surrounding hills from which you are offered a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Some of the paths are marked and others served as trade routes long ago. Zagora is well known for its hospitality.The people offering their hospitality and opening the doors to their homes will endeavour to make your stay as pleasant as possible. They will heartily share with you their everyday life, something your will long remember, right up to your next visit. Your encounter with Zagora, as a one day excursion from the seaside or even as a longer stay of a few days, will offer you the feeling that you have experienced something extraordinary, something valuable, something you will most certainly want to do again - because the sea in not far away.
The islands and coastline If you entertain an interest for old Mediterranean architecture or like to study history, you’ve stumbled across a treasure trove.The most interesting part of the household is most certainly the konoba (winecellar). It is the pride of the household; this is where wines, plum-brandy, cheeses or smoked meats are tasted. The kitchen is the centre of the household. The foods are exactly like those that your hosts eat at their table. Sheep, goats, lambs, chicken, eggs, with vegetables, olive oil and wine are the basis for their cuisine. There is no better end to the day than gathering around the village hearth with the crackling of the fire and smell of the roasted chops, in the silence listening to the sleep-inducing music of the cricket on a nearby tree. All this in the still of the night with the stars shinning in the dark island sky and the refreshing touch of the breeze coming from the slopes of the nearby hills.
