About Karojba
Unlike the coastal towns of Istria, Karojba offers a quieter, inland experience. The local economy is based on agriculture, and the surrounding area is popular for truffle hunting, wine tasting, and cycling. The village has a few basic amenities, including a shop and a post office, but for more extensive services, residents and visitors typically go to nearby towns such as Pazin or Poreč. The nearest airport is Pula Airport, approximately 50 kilometres to the south, while Rijeka Airport is about 70 kilometres to the east.
