Istria in Croatia is rapidly becoming a popular destination for holidaymakers of all kinds of nationalities and ages, for many reasons. Friendly locals, reasonable prices, lush, rugged and diverse landscapes, beautiful beaches and ancient villages and towns bursting with historic wonders, means Istria is a European holiday hotspot.<\/p>\n

Oh yes, and one more reason \u2013 the plethora of events and carnivals and Croatia festival 2012,\u00a0which take place across the region throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Take a look at three great events taking place in Istria in July alone.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pula Film Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 14 \u2013 28 July, 2012, the Pula Film Festival will be taking place, which, being now in its 59th<\/sup> year is the oldest festival of its kind in the whole of Croatia.<\/p>\n

Films of all genres, lengths, age-groups and tastes are put on at various venues across Pula during this two-week festival, including the town\u2019s magnificent amphitheatre.<\/p>\n

The festival will commence at the fortress Kastel with what promises to be a sensational open-air show.<\/p>\n

This highly cultural and atmospheric festival is the perfect opportunity to experience this stunning Roman town, which was built at the end of a beautiful bay.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seasplash Reggae Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

If reggae music gets your musical juices flowing then be sure to attend the Seasplash Reggae Festival, also held in the fascinating town of Pula.<\/p>\n

Running from 19 \u2013 22 July, 2012, Pula will be home to a host of reggae bands from around the world, attracting an audience as culturally diverse as the festival\u2019s performers.<\/p>\n

This year, the Seasplash Reggae Festival will be celebrating its ten-year anniversary, so be prepared for some extra-memorable and hedonistic celebrations!<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Croatia Open ATP Tennis Tournament<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the more sports-minded amongst us, a trip to Istria to witness the Croatia Open Tennis Tournament might be more up your street.<\/p>\n

Taking place between 5 and 15 July, 2012, in the coastal city of Umag, this annual tennis event attracts top-class tennis players from around the world. Last year saw the Ukrainian ace, Alexandr Dolgopolov win the men\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

Although unlike many other large tennis tournaments, there is a huge emphasis on \u2018having fun\u2019 at the Croatia Open ATP Tennis Tournament, with many fun events put on for all the family!<\/p>\n
