Istria isn’t the sort of place that likes to interrupt. Stand on the shore anywhere between Fažana and Umag, as the sea laps the shingle and families chatter quietly, and you’ll understand: a 60-mile-long peninsula that juts down, like the lower half of a diamond, below Slovenia and the northeastern corner of Italy, this is Croatia at its unhurried best.

This is northern Dalmatia, which feels quite different from the Dalmatia around Dubrovnik, with its Venetian harbor. The north stretches from the Kvarner Riviera down to the ancient city of Split, and for the most part is harsher, less populated, and less visited.

Croatia offers more than 1,100 miles of meandering mainland coast backed by rugged limestone mountains, along with hundreds of scattered islands and islets, of which 47 are inhabited. It is also dotted with historic and beautifully preserved harbour towns, relics of the four centuries between 1420 and 1797 when it was occupied by the Venetians. This combination makes it the perfect option for those who like to combine cultural sightseeing with lazing on the beach.

In that heady period last summer in between lockdowns, when European borders had briefly opened, I was back in Croatia’s most visited city — and one of its most captivating. But with no cruise ships or coaches full of daytrippers, the usual 10,000 people who would crowd every day into the narrow lanes of Dubrovnik’s old town just weren’t there. It was, I have to admit, quite blissful.

The blizzard hit me about two hours after I’d started climbing the mountain. A furious wind drove through the pine trees, making their trunks writhe and groan, and an icy spindrift erased all trace of the landscape below: the foothills of the Velebit mountains and Croatia’s many-islanded Adriatic coast in winter.

Not that Istria could be described as a “long-disappeared” anything, even in the grip of one of the worst pandemics in the course of a century. Croatia has grown exponentially in popularity with British tourists over the past two decades, and even if the peninsula does not pull in the weight of numbers generally welcomed by Dubrovnik or some sections of the Dalmatian Coast, it has become a trusted destination for a week or two in the sun. Nor is it only holidaymakers from the UK who appreciate its charms.
