Istria
Hill towns that could pass for Tuscany at a fraction of the price, truffle country inland, and a coastline of Roman ruins that never quite got the crowds of Dalmatia further south.
The best time to visit Istria is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (83°F). Local time there is 21:05 (UTC+2).
