Did you know that once upon a time, Istria was built by the giants who gathered stones and built towns on beautiful green hills? The city, only 100 meters long and 30 meters wide holds so much of history. According to the legend, Hum was created by accident when the Giants did not have many stones left when building the cities in the valley of the Mirna River, so they decided to build this miniature city. Visit the smallest city in the world with us, meet its residents, and have a chat with them, while enjoying the fabulous narrow streets and allowing Hum to delight all your senses. You will get to treat your palate to a delicious set of local specialties in one of the Hum taverns, sipping on the exquisite Istrian wine.
