Završje: A Silent Hilltop Gem

In the heart of northern Istria, not far from the more famous towns of Motovun and Grožnjan, lies Završje – a hilltop village that time seems to have quietly passed by. With its stone houses, cobblestone streets, and panoramic views over the Mirna River valley, Završje offers a glimpse into Istria’s untouched past.

Unlike its livelier neighbors, Završje remains peaceful and unpolished. There are no big tourist crowds, no bustling cafes – just the soft creak of old wooden shutters, the rustle of vines climbing ancient walls, and the gentle whisper of the wind across the valley.

It’s the kind of place where every corner feels like a story waiting to be told.
