If you're a beer lover, then this is your place! Ring the bell of the Bura brewery and just say you're thirsty - Alessandro and Claudio will welcome you in and give you a tour of the place. Bura is a microbrewery, so don't expect much in terms of size but the team's enthusiasm and hard work will surely blow you away. It's like talking to old friends. Over beer. You can taste the Bura beers (for free) and buy it at the brewery. Keep in mind they don't accept credit cards so bring cash. A lot of it because apart from beer, they have a fair choice of Bura goodies - glasses, wooden openers, ashtrays, wooden beer cases, gift baskets, and T-shirts. (I would kill for a beach towel, though!)

I organize small group VIP Wine and Culinary Journeys from the USA to various regions in Europe. Not speaking Croatian, I needed local help in finding and booking venues for us to visit. I found Chelsea from Olive and Spice who was knowledgeable and ready to help my group. She understood our special requests, and quickly communicated our options. Once the decision was made which schedule was working for us, she set up all our visits and events for us. Even though she was away during our stay in Croatia, she followed up and made sure that everyone was ready at our arrival. We experienced authentic culture, excellent food, and met with winery owners and wine makers. I highly recommend Chelsea and Olive and Spice of Poreč on the Istria Peninsula in Croatia Annemarie Humm Vines to Wine Academy and Tours LLC

Well worth seeing, the mosaics in the apse of the church alone justify the entrance fee of 40 kuna. If possible, make the climb up the tower for the finest view over Porec.
10. Jama - Grotta Baredine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 818 reviews
Baredine Cave Protected morphological monument of nature Meet the mystical world of nature which has been developing for thousands of years, far away from the light of the day and the human eye. Visit the underworld the Baredine Cave. This cave is a treasure chest of stalagmites and stalactites, underworld sculptures created through time by the patient work of water. Visit The cave is geomorphological monument of nature since 1986, and it has been opened for visitors since 1995. The sightseeing lasts 40 minutes; visitors descend along a 300m long pathway up to 60m below the ground and an underground lake and visit five beautifully decorated chambers. The cave is well lit and equipped, the paths and stairways have firm railing, and the temperature is very pleasant at 14˚C. Next to the cave are a free parking lot (for cars and buses), a reception, a coffee-bar/buffet, speleo-gallery, souvenir shops, children play ground, and area with domesticated animals and a pick-nick area

What Jama might lack in size, it more than makes up for in two other areas. First off, you can see the vulnerable (per the IUCN) "human fish" or olm. This little creature is pretty incredible, and endemic to water, in caves, in only Croatia and parts of neighboring countries (Italy, Slovenia and Bosnia). Secondly, the guide we had was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about caves, caving, the human fish... I've been to many-a-cave in numerous countries, and our guide here was one of, if not the most, knowledgeable and informative. I definitely learned more than I was expecting to. Tickets are 75kn/adult, and our tour was about an hour (though our group asked him heaps of questions, so maybe the tour is usually a little shorter than that). Everything is kind of a ghost town--during winter and during The Covid--so now is definitely the time to go. (Just email or call a day ahead of time to set up a tour). Highly recommend for fans of caves and/or weird, cool species you can't see too many other places. Oh, one last note: to contradict what a reviewer a few down said about this cave not being for the faint of heart or those who are claustrophobic, I didn't think it was claustrophobic at all. Granted, I'm not prone to claustrophobia in the slightest, but I've definitely been in caves with smaller rooms and tighter passages, and I wouldn't think this would be too confining for others. There are a good number of stairs, but the guide will let you take your time walking up them.
