Istria Tips You Must Know

• Book accommodations between May and September for the best weather but expect higher prices in July and August.

• For budget travelers, book at least 3-4 months in advance for peak season to secure lower prices.

• Consider renting a car as public transport is limited, especially if you plan to visit inland villages.

• Most hotels offer access to nearby beaches, but check if they provide free loungers or umbrellas.

• Always confirm parking options when booking, as some properties in old towns may lack on-site parking.
