Kvarner Bay Adriatic Gems Tour
Overview
The coastline of Kvarner Bay is peppered with beautiful towns and historic locations. On this tour, you'll visit two of its most eye-catching spots – the hilltop fort of Mošćenice and the cosmopolitan seaside resort of Opatija.
First up is Mošćenice. There's free time to explore the narrow, cobbled streets and medieval architecture. Admire wow-factor panoramas over the Istria peninsula and the Adriatic Sea, or visit the impressive hilltop fortress overlooking the Kvarner Gulf.
Next up is the elegant 19th century Adriatic resort of Opatija. Known for its pastel-coloured villas and botanical gardens, it was the place to be seen in the Austro-Hungarian Empire's golden age. Stroll along the Lungomare, just as many kings and emperors did in the olden days.
Round-trip transportation from your accommodation in Pula, Rovinj, Poreč, Novigrad or Umag is included. This tour operates in a group of up to 50 participants.

This is a gorgeous part of the Istrian coast…not to be missed! Mauro was a wonderful guide with tons of interesting facts about the area. It was an 8 hour day so not really a half day tour. I would bring snacks or lunch next time!

Opatija was just beautiful. Spent the day there waling around the beautiful manicured gardens and visited a chocolate factory where we tasted the best chocolate ever. Did this as a tour which made it easy to navigate. Part of the tour we also went to Micenice, a beautifil little town.
