5 Things to do in Kaštelir

For visitors wondering what to do while staying in Kaštelir, here are some of our recommendations (in no order of preference):

1. OPG ČehiĆ

Olive farm is a 1 hectare of olive grow and a part of ČehiĆ family farm, situated in beautiful place of Limski kanal that is very easy to found. In the grow is a little shop with ČehiĆ family products such as wine, extra virgin olive oil, preserved olives, different tipe of grappa and popular Croatian šljivovica, honey and lavender products. The shop is open from April to October.

2. OPG Igor Kocijančić

Their story began a few decades ago with a dozen ranks of malvasia in a small field called “Zardin”, which is a bit distorted pronunciation of the word garden in French. Equal part of family business is the production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. They planted the first olives in 1998. At the beginning they had 500 trees, and today there are about 5,500, located in the olive groves above the Mirna River…

4. Trails

The west coast of Istria near Poreč offers trails suitable for less physically fit recreational enthusiasts and families with children. These are shorter and easier trails, ideal for a pleasant walk through the beauties of nature. For those eager for challenges, there are also more technically demanding trails with more difficult ascents.

We are confident you will enjoy walking along forest paths, through olive groves and vineyards and in the views of the surrounding hills. During this adventure you will also come across numerous cultural and historical monuments.

We would especially like to highlight the “Treasure of Nigrinjan” trail. It starts at the northeast entrance to Kaštelir, near the cemetery in the hamlet of Babići. Continue north along the namesake road, passing the settlements of Tadini and Mekiši near Kaštelir. This used to be the route of an important Roman road, the Via Flavia.
