Croatia's extraordinary island-speckled coastline is indisputably its main attraction. The first thing that strikes you is the remarkable clarity of the water. When it's set against a dazzling white pebbly beach, the water sparkles with a jewel-like intensity in shades of emerald and sapphire. There are long sandy and shingly stretches too - perfect for lazy days spent lounging and devouring trashy holiday novels. if that all sounds too relaxing, there are water-based activities at hand to lure you off your sun lounger - snorkelling, diving, kayaking, windsurfing and sailing, just for starters. LABiN Labin is located in the south-eastern region of istria, on a hill above Rabac and 5km away from the nearest port. it used to be called Albona and it was first mentioned in the year 285. This town, which dates from the Middle ages, consists of two parts: the old town located on the top of the hill and the new settlement Podlabin, making the walk through the streets very much like a visit to the museum: the town gates are from the 15th century, the lodge from the 17th century, the lapidary and palaces are decorated with renaissance details and the baroque facades have the crests of noble families. Because of such rich heritage, Labin is the perfect destination for guests in search of cultural tourism and those who enjoy antiquities, so we recommend it if swimming and sunbathing are not the most important parts of your vacation. From the top of the old town there is a beautiful view of Rabac, Kvarner, Gorski Kotar, Velebit and Prklog which is a nearby green cove and a protected region because of its beauty. The economy was previously based on mining, while today its base is the metal and wood industry, trade and tourism. The woody hills and valleys around Labin are recommended for wild game hunting. Labin is also attractive during the end of July and beginning of August the 'Labin Cultural Summer' (classical music festival) is held. if you are a culinary enthusiast and would like to taste the specialties of this region we recommend restaurants 'Bella Vista', 'Dubrova', 'Due Fratelli', 'Calimero' and 'Labinezza'. While in Labin, do not miss the opportunity to visit Pazin and Opatija.
