Tar-Vabriga
Tar-Vabriga is located between the tourist centers of Poreč and Novigrad, offering their charm close at hand but also nurturing their authentic offer dominated by olive growing and fishing, the hospitality of the local people and the tradition passed down from generation to generation. The old town nuclei of Tar and Vabriga are recognizable by their stone houses with landscaped courtyards that hide historical stories and occasional water wells. At the same time, the taverns lure with their fireplaces.
