Hi, Thinking about visiting the Istrian Riviera in late April early May, it just looks so stunning. However, having never visited Croatia I have a few questions and hoped someone could please advise me.
Can anyone recommed an area on the Istrian Riviera, we are a couple (no children) and are looking for a little glitz and glamour, designer shops etc., have been told that Opatija has all this and more - does any one know if that is the case.
What kind of weather could I expect this time of year (April/May) - do I need to pack a jacket?! Have been told that as the winters in Istria are very mild I should be fine.
Any advice would be great.
Thank you.
Jilly.
I am travelling to Croatia end May......after much deliberation I have decided on Medulin on the south point of Istria - mainly as I have read the beaches are slightly better.
Although wondering if the resort will be busy enough to entertain 15yrs, 5yrs & myself & hubby?
The resorts of Rabac, Rovinj & Pula look very nice but are further from Pula - landing at 10pm when the car hire firms have shut lands me with a slight transport problem as I understand the taxis are quite expensive.

Anyone visited Medulin?
I'm staying in Porec at the end of May, and intend to visit Medulin for at least a day, as I've read there are sandy beaches - unusual for Istria. I've also read there are 2 funfairs! Unlikely they'll be open at this time of year, though.
I'd also be interested in any thoughts, hints or tips from anyone who's been to Medulin.
xxxyorkshire: have you seen the forum at VisitCroatia:

Might be worth posting on there, as quite a few expats contribute.

Hi,
Have posted a couple of questions but nothing much in response.
My youngest is 5 yrs old & I cannot quite see me lowering her into the sea off a concrete platform
so I opted for the family friendly beaches of Medulin...just concerned there may not be enough for the 15yr old.
