Visiting Istria (Croatia) with the children

I have just managed to book a holiday to Croatia! I need a break and to de-stress but I will be travelling with 3 kids under 7. Any suggestions as to attractions or areas to visit? Thanks!

Can you tell us where exactly you are going? By the sea, I suppose, but the coast is looooooong and there are lots of islands.

A client of mine just came back from Istria last week. He said his kids loved it. The beaches are supposed to be very nice. Also there are lots of old towns and such.

I just got back today from Croatia,we stayed in a big resort with kids pool and entertainment,its part of the Sol chain

Near Pula, Fazana. It's a bungalow within a wee resort called Bivillage.

Do you speak German?Because most of the people we met were, or spoke Geman,but they do speak English

Hmm not really. Could probably do the conversational stuff but that's about it really

What was the food like?

Italian

So the kids will be happy with Piizza and Ice cream then !

There are some meat and fish dishes,but your right pizza, pasta and icecream all round

Don't know if you've seen this site on Fažana already, it has some useful information on the town and the surrounding area. (Btw, just so you know, it's pronounced "Fazhana", as in leisure and pleasure... ). Enjoy your holiday!

We have decided against Croatia this year although we love the place like mad because it is impractical with a 1 year old near harbour walls. Hope you have a nice time. We love Korcula and Mljet for example.

thanks for the link Kay!! looks lovely!

Just returned from Istria and had a fab family holiday in Bi-Village at Fasana! Thanks for the tips.

Glad you enjoyed it!
