Departing from the pier, enjoy a 75-minute scenic panoramic drive through Istria -- the most visited part of Croatia. From your window, enjoy views of medieval villages nestled in rolling hills and olive groves.
The town of Labin is perched on a hilltop overlooking the sea. Enter the charming Old Town through the main gate and begin your walking tour from the picturesque Town Square.
Wander a labyrinth of steep streets and cobblestone alleyways to marvel at beautiful examples of Baroque, Renaissance and Gothic architecture. Taffy-colored homes and Venetian-inspired palaces and churches line the way. Take in stunning views of the port town of Rabac -- once a tiny fishing village.
Visit the exquisite Labin National Museum, housed in a Baroque palace and featuring displays highlighting the importance of mining in the town's history, including a replica mineshaft.
At Gallery Negri, William and Anessa Negri have produced award-winning olive oils since 2001. Pair canapés and a glass of wine while you sample the internationally-revered olive oil from the Negri family estate. Their beautiful gallery is nestled in a 17th-century palace festooned with artwork and lush décor.
Enjoy some free time in the Old Town to explore on your own before returning to the pier.
