blue Lagoon

Poreč has developed into a dream holiday destination. This is because of the successful combination of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and hard-working business-minded people who knew how to turn their vision into reality. The name Plava Laguna has already been associated with Poreč for half a century.

The hotels, apartment villages, campsites, sports and entertainment centres are harmoniously incorporated into the abundant Mediterranean greenery that is found on the peninsula and in the bays. Today we are renovating them and almost every day we are enrichening them with the same vitality as in those early beginnings. We are constantly following contemporary trends in tourism, but most importantly we listen to the wishes and needs of our guests.

With equal care we are continuously working on developing the infrastructure and services, nurturing the horticultural and protecting the natural surrounding. At any given time we can look after 23000 guests to very high standards. Our hotels, apartments and camp sites of different categories are designed and equipped to provide the ideal holiday. The international blue flag on our beaches confirms the care we put into preserving the environment, the high standards of cleanliness, and the quality of the sea, as well as safety.

A series of highly respected business and ecological awards is clear evidence of Plava Laguna's reputation and its leading position amongst Croatian hoteliers – as is the millions of satisfied guests from all over the world!

Something About . . . People and customs

The people of Istria have always been farm labourers, but what they really engaged in was defined by the configuration of the surrounding land.

In the mountains of Ćićarija Istrian people were humble shepherds, proof of which are numerous folk proverbs: Ovaca bez pastira ne da ni mlika ni sira. (Sheep without shepherds yield neither milk nor cheese) Ki čuva ovcu, čuva i vunu (He who tends sheep, also keeps wool). In the middle of this little continent grey soil dominates, which is difficult to cultivate, but beneficial. This very soil has borne the Istrian-plowman. Southwest Istria, of deep red soil, is the area of excellent winegrowers, who are surrounded by their empire of Malvasia, whereas the coastal part of the peninsula has always been known for fishing: Ki spi, ribe ne lovi. (Those who sleep, catch no fish.)

Istrian women have always been self-sacrificing and had the entire house on their back, not only its four corners. For example, when they set out to fetch water from faraway springs, while carrying it home in vessels called brente on their backs, they knitted along the way so they wouldn't idle away their time.

The old trades that Istria was noted for have almost completely disappeared today - such as the two crucial crafts - stone carving and pottery. In the first one stone is roughly cut but in the other clay is delicately shaped into vessels.

Now and then the people of this Peninsula would provide entertainment with music and dance. But, their song is hard, atonal, archaic and is sung in two voices. Instruments - ancient, shepherd's: roženice, mih, duplice… The most popular dance is balun, whereas the folk costume is simple, two-colored - brown and white.

Istrian man is easily recognized - he is sweet-natured, diligent, patient, somewhat distrustful and careful, unhurried, with a hidden strength. He forms acquaintances easily, but true friendship a bit harder, then it is life long. For him honesty is of utmost importance - he keeps his word and that is the basis of all communication and coexistence: Vo se veživa za roge, a čovik za besidu. (An ox is tied to his horns, man to his word)

And if you happen to meet him on one of the village paths, whether young or old - he will always greet you first and look you sincerely in the eyes.
