Tar-Vabriga Travel Guide

Twin hilltop villages set inland from the western Istrian coast between Poreč and Novigrad, offering an authentic glimpse into rural Istrian life away from the beach resorts. Tar is a well-preserved medieval village with ancient stone houses, a Baroque church, and sweeping vineyard views. Vabriga sits close to the coast with access to the Tar-Vabriga municipal beaches. Together they form a municipality that blends heritage, olive groves, and unspoilt Istrian countryside.
