Motovun: Tales & Legends

Rising above the Mirna Valley, Motovun commands sweeping views of vineyards, forests, and rolling hills. Encircled by ancient stone walls, this medieval town carries the quiet grandeur of centuries past - a place where history, gastronomy, and artistry meet in remarkable harmony.

In Motovun, walk the ancient defensive walls, visit the Church of St. Stephen, and explore charming boutiques and local galleries tucked within stone passageways. Continue to Grožnjan (optional), a hilltop haven of artists known for its summer academies, ateliers, and cultural workshops. Wander cobbled streets lined with galleries, artisan studios, olive oil shops, and truffle boutiques, and visit the Church of St. Vid overlooking the valley below.

Often paired with nearby Grožnjan (optional), the region reveals a slower, more contemplative side of Istria.
