2. Istrian Chest of Treasure
Marvel at Istria's hilltop towns that crown the bucolic scenery of its inland with their medieval walls, mystic interiors, and unique charm. Pulsating in the heart of the peninsula, Motovun is known for its strong fortifications, dreamy forests, and an internationally known film festival. A couple of hills over, the 14th-century Grožnjan hides away Renaissance fa√ßades and baroque churches in a web of alleyways that many artists call home. Round off the day with a visit to one of Istria's superior wineries for a VIP cellar tour and wine tasting.
