The seaside town of Novigrad is an Istrian jewel that is often missed by travel guides which often focus more on its nearby towns, including Porec, Rovinj, and Umag with its gorgeous glamping spots. That’s a shame in some ways, but it does mean that if you visit at the right time, you will have a lot more space; regular visitors recommend June and September in particular. It also means that you’ll tend to find prices are cheaper here, which is especially good news because, while other towns may get more attention, there’s a great deal to like about Novigrad. From its seafood restaurants to its delightful panoramic views, you’ll love the area, and by booking one of the best vacation homes here, you’ll get the bargain of a lifetime. Read on and choose from the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Novigrad, Croatia, below.
