Sailing in Istria during the holidays: maritime festivities in spring and summer

Why Istria?
Istria is known for its picturesque coastal towns, clear waters and diverse culture, which is in full bloom in spring and summer. The mild temperatures and reliable wind conditions during this time make the region perfect for relaxed cruises – ideal for experiencing the traditional festivities directly from the boat.
Easter in Istria: Processions and festivities
In spring, the festive season begins with Easter – an important event for Croatians that you can also experience at sea. Traditional Easter processions take place in many places along the coast, with fishing boats decorated with flowers and colourful cloths crossing the bay. Towns such as Poreč and Rovinj are transformed into colourful stages of faith and tradition, and the surrounding waters offer you a fantastic view of the spectacle. Enjoy the calm sailing on these holidays, when the breeze is often still mild and the temperatures pleasantly warm.
