Holidays or short weekend trips are always welcome, as well as mandatory business trips. Therefore, travel safely and stay informed about all the news related to travel to Istria and within Croatia.
“Safe stay in Croatia”
Thanks to the good epidemiological conditions during the past year, Istria and Croatia have been recognized as safe destinations, so Croatia got the national safety label “Safe stay in Croatia”, implemented by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Istria is a “green zone” for traveling, and our hotel Villetta Phasiana got the national safety label “Safe stay in Croatia” as well, as a safe accommodation property for your stay.
Entering Croatia
For all foreigners, regardless of their nationality, we recommend to make the announcement on Enter Croatia in order to shorten the process at the border crossing.

• Vaccination certificate for persons who received a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine more than 14 days prior. Exceptionally, in the case of a vaccine received in a single dose, a certificate of receipt of a single dose if the dose was received more than 14 days before crossing the state border.
