Istrien und Rijeka für Fortgeschrittene

Georges Desrues has been drawn to the heart-shaped peninsula again and again for many years, because: Istria makes you happy. A place where you can unwind among vineyards, olive groves and nearby beaches from the first days of spring until late in autumn.

In this book, the Istrian connoisseur spans the unbelievably complex area of experience between Rijeka and the southern tip of the peninsula: He tells us about the architecture of Istria under the fascists and later the communists, takes us on walks on the Tito island of Brijuni and shows us the historical and present-day Pula.

He chats with fishermen from Savudrija about the famous spider crab, visits a lawyer from Ljubljana who is now the only goat cheese producer on the peninsula, and tells us about the best fish restaurants and the young, up-and-coming, little-known winegrowers.
