Cycling old railway Parenzana
Parenzana was a 123 km long railway line that went through the Istrian countryside, connecting 33 places in Istria, from Trieste (Trieste) to Poreč. Today it passes the territories of Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.
The railway operated between 1902 and 1935 and it represented a vital connection between villages and towns that were on the route, transporting passengers, wine, olive oil, stone, coal, wood, and many other resources.
In 2006, The Parenzana revival project started. This project restored and converted the line into a cycling trail. What had once fallen into oblivion, today is known as the most visited cycling and hiking trail in Istria. The biking route is not very demanding and thus appropriate for beginners, families, and regular cyclists. Travel through the idyllic scenery, past typical medieval towns and villages, across numerous bridges and exciting tunnels.
Enjoy your day and create unforgettable memories on the most romantic biking trail in Istria.

We are very grateful to Vedran for the sunset kayaking tour. We were picked up right from the hotel, and we were able to leave our bags in the car and change clothes after the trip. Everything went great and was very interesting. We were also offered drinks and snacks. During the tour, we were photographed a lot, and we got some great photos. At the end, we were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was a pleasant surprise for everyone. We highly recommend this tour, which is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories.

An Unforgettable Kayak Adventure on the Limski Fjord with the Amazing Guide Ilija! : 𓏲🐋 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖✩࿐࿔ 🌊 On the last day of our stay in Poreč my partner surprised me with the most beautiful gift before we headed back to Slovenia – a kayaking trip on the stunning Limski Fjord. It turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our entire holiday. ❤️ The weather was perfect, the sea calm and the morning peaceful and quiet – ideal conditions to truly soak in the natural beauty around us. Our guide Ilija was fantastic! He took us along the coastline, shared interesting stories about the history of the fjord and the canal and introduced us to the local tradition of mussel farming. Along the way, we paddled through crystal-clear waters filled with fish, stopped at a wild beach for a refreshing swim, and for a moment, it truly felt like time had stopped. It was like being transported to a simpler, untouched world. Ilija was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and passionate – we couldn’t have wished for a better guide. Whether you're a couple looking for a romantic escape or a group of friends in search of a unique adventure, this experience is absolutely worth it. ❤️ 🙏 We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Poreč – you won’t regret it! 😊 Nika & Daniel

This was truly an unforgettable experience! Kayaking through one of the most beautiful natural spots, with crystal-clear water, breathtaking scenery, and perfect weather. Our guide Ilija was incredibly friendly, relaxed, and knew the area like the back of his hand. Along the way, he showed us all the highlights, shared interesting stories, and created a fun, laid-back atmosphere. We even stopped at a hidden beach for a swim and some sunbathing. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for something unique and authentic! Flameous&Nikisha
