Hy
I will be visiting with wife and 2 kids Croatia, Pula to be precise, from August 11th - 26th driving from Germany.
What interesting places (apart from those in Pula) can you recommend and things we should be aware of. We don't mind driving up to 1 hour to thoses places but shouldn't be longer. I should mention that we ha ve never been to Croatia before so it a premiere for us.
Thanks for your time....

Visit Kamenjak, Rovinj, Brijuni Islands and inland villages like Grosnjan and Motovun. A drive up the East coast of Istria is well worth it too.

I agree with Wimble, good suggestions except there is no east coast :-) Perhaps consider organised trips. Going by car is OK but parking in August can be problematic, a bit stressful and somewhat expensive. www.ruralpropertycroatia.com

Ribaric: Thx but what do you mean with "organised trips"? Are you referring to tours offered by tour agents or companies? Frankly, I do not like such trips because you are "tied" to the group: I need my freedom... :-)

That is what I meant. I 'get' the freedom thing but you may need to spend a bit of time finding somewhere to park. Have a good trip.

We have a property near Pula so have guests throughout the summer. I have written a brief guide to Istria for them based on our experience over the past 12 years . If you email me, philjames@blueyonder.co.uk I will send you a copy. Also www.youtube.com/watch?v=acZ-2NXQQFARegards

Istria does have an East coast and very beautiful too.

Istria does have an East coast and very beautiful too. Of course *slaps forehead* I was thinking about the Dalmation coast. I guess the Danube can be said to give HR another east coast? No, probably not. www.ruralpropertycroatia.com
