As you near Poreč, another stunning Istrian town famous for the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, you'll enjoy a fine blend of coastal views and rich historical architecture. The roads are mostly quiet, but you’ll get a taste of various terrains, including some gentle cycleways and tracks.

Make sure to pause and savor the rolling vineyards and olive groves, typical of the Istrian countryside. With a pleasant mix of natural beauty and historical intrigue, this route is perfect for a leisurely yet fulfilling cycling excursion.
