Holidays in Novigrad

An introduction to Novigrad

Picture this: you're sipping cappuccino on a sun-baked harbourfront eyeing the yachts in the marina. As the town clock rings in the twelth hour, you start drooling over the thought of a lunch of freshly made pasta served with light, zesty Croatian wine. And en-route to finding the perfect rustic konoba, you meander into a stunning walled old town webbed with cobbled lanes, Venetian-style houses and ornate churches. Sounds good? Well, it's all here in Novigrad. But one of the beauties of this town is that it's not all about history and harbour fronts. Whilst its old quarter sits on a beautiful peninsula, its modern areas spread along the coast either side, creating a playground for sun-and-sea lovers. Fringed by long pebble beaches and smaller coves, this is the place to chill out, top up that tan and spice things up with some water-skiing or paragliding. Then there's pony-trekking through the countryside too. When it comes to getting sporty, this place won't cramp your style. You'll hardly be short on day-trips choices either. If the old town's got you in culture-vulture mood, catch a bus to Porec. This medieval jewel boasts a mosaic-adorned cathedral that'll stop your breath. Alternatively, do something daring like game hunting or canoeing in the nearby Mirna river valley – it'll be something worth boasting about back home. Come evening, settle down to dinner amid the twinkling restaurants of old Novigrad before dancing to live music on a starlit bar terrace. Or maybe hit a nightclub or hotel casino. Whatever you fancy doing Novigrad will make it happen.
