Location
About the surrounding area of Villa TankiaThe peaceful hamlet of Viškovići lies along the eastern coastline of Croatian Istria, just three kilometres away from the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea. With the lively Istrian capital of Pula roughly fifty kilometres away and an array of coastal wonders to explore nearby, Villa Tankia offers guests an enchanting holiday setting with an abundance of Mediterranean charm!
When in Istria, the shimmering sea inevitably beckons. The coastline is dotted with beautiful beaches, many of which are secluded, sunny coves where you can completely relax away from the crowds. Just two kilometres from the villa, Autocamp Tunarica offers a wide array of water sports facilities, including boats, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards for visitors to rent on sunny afternoons. Twenty kilometres away from Viškovići, the vibrant coastal resort of Rabac is home to stunning Blue Flag beaches such as Girandella Beach, a pristine pebble beach with warm, crystalline waters and fantastic amenities, only a half-hour’s drive from Villa Tankia. Lanterna Beach and Maslinica Beach are two more gorgeous coves to be explored whilst spending the day by the sea in Rabac.
Just five kilometres from Rabac, Labin is a pretty town with plenty of authentic Istrian charm. Spend a sunny morning wandering the streets of the historic town centre, sipping coffee and taking in the colourful sights, before visiting the local history museum in the impressive Battiala-Lazzarini Palace. Perched on a picturesque hilltop, the town boasts spectacular views of the surrounding natural beauty and the sea, so you will be unlikely to forget Labin in a hurry.
History buffs and those searching for a little more hustle and bustle will feel drawn to Pula, Istria’s largest city, situated in a valley surrounded by seven green hills. Boasting spectacular sea views and the incredible Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre that dates back as far as 27 BC, the city is also home to lively summer festivals and local markets, beautiful beaches and traditional taverns showcasing some of the region’s finest cuisine. After a day spent wandering the city’s charming cobblestone streets, make your way home to tranquil Villa Tankia in time for a sunset swim and a glass of Istrian wine on the terrace as the stars begin to appear.

Region
Nestled along Croatia’s enchanting Adriatic coastline, Istria welcomes visitors with open arms and a rich tapestry of experiences waiting to be unraveled. Whether you're seeking adventure in nature, indulgence in culinary delights, a glimpse into history and culture, or simply a warm and inviting atmosphere, the peninsula of Istria has it all.
Istria's diverse and unspoiled landscapes will be the first thing to capture your attention! The region is renowned for its lush green hills, rolling vineyards, and enchanting coastline: the stunning scenery is a playground for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and beachgoers alike.
Offering a remarkable 445 kilometres of pristine coastline, including tranquil coves and sandy beaches, visitors can find plenty of secluded spots to soak up the sun. The clear, azure waters of the Adriatic are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy an active day of water sports.
Venture inland and you'll discover picturesque villages set amidst rolling hills and verdant forests. Istria is home to over 30 nature reserves - an absolute haven for hikers and cyclists, with an abundance of well-marked trails to explore. The Učka Nature Park, in particular, stands out as a hiking and nature lover's paradise, offering waterfalls, historic villages, and breathtaking panoramic views of Istria's outstanding scenery.
Istria's rich history is woven into the fabric of its towns and cities. An ever popular choice for tourists is the impressive port city of Pula, full of quaint town squares and local restaurants, and home to one of the most well-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. This ancient arena, known as the Pula Arena, is a testament to Istria's Roman heritage and hosts numerous events, including concerts and film festivals.
The medieval towns of Rovinj and Motovun enchant visitors with their cobbled streets and historic charm. The Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning example of early Christian art and architecture.
Istria's culinary scene is a treat for the taste buds: the region is famous for its truffles, particularly the elusive white truffle, and you can savour dishes infused with this prized delicacy in charming local restaurants across the region. Wine and olive oil lovers will find joy in Istria's vineyards and olive groves, offering tastings and insights into traditional production methods. Fresh seafood, often served with a Mediterranean twist, is a staple that you can enjoy at quaint waterfront eateries along the coastline.
One of the most enduring memories visitors take away from Istria is the warmth of its people. The locals are known for their friendly, welcoming nature and their willingness to share their traditions and stories with tourists. You'll find yourself immersed in the local way of life, whether you're exploring ancient towns or enjoying a meal in a family-run tavern.
Istria is easily accessible, with Pula Airport serving as a major gateway. Once you arrive, navigating the region is a breeze with well-maintained roads connecting major towns and villages. Language barriers are minimal, thanks to the widespread use of English, Italian, and German, alongside the local Croatian language.
Istria’s unique blend of pristine landscapes, rich traditions, and warm-hearted locals creates an experience that will linger in your memories long after you've returned home.

Best Suited For: All AgesThe idyllic green countryside and sparkling blue waters of Croatian Istria will delight younger visitors, not to mention Villa Tankia’s private swimming pool, outdoor play area and games room! The Adriatic coastline offers a seemingly endless array of safe and well-maintained beaches to discover. Nearby Autocamp Tunarica is the ideal spot for those after a day of water sports, with stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking all on offer. Or pack a picnic and head to the shores of Maslinica Beach in Rabin, where everyone can spend the day dipping in and out of the warm, crystal-clear waters.
Intrepid explorers will love the astonishing views from Učka Nature Park, roughly fifty minutes away from Viškovići by car. The park offers plenty of family-friendly activities, from educational tours to hiking trails that lead you through enchanting forests and mountain villages. Later, go down to Opatija for a well-earned ice cream and a stroll along the Lungomare promenade before a delicious family dinner at a traditional tavern.
Meanwhile, budding historians will be enchanted by a visit to nearby Labin. For another trip to remember, spend the day in the vibrant city of Pula and visit the Pula Arena, an ancient Roman amphitheatre that once hosted gladiator battles. Visitors to the amphitheatre can explore the underground chambers and impressive limestone walls before taking in the sights of Pula’s glittering harbour.
