Antonci: Parenzana, Wine Route and Archaeology

Antonci offers several themes to help you plan a hotel stay: the Istrian Wine Route, the historic Parenzana and archaeological sites. To narrow down your options, consider whether you are more interested in a longer route, railway history and the Antonci Viaduct, or archaeological points of interest. These themes play different roles in your planning: the Wine Route offers an extensive tour, the Parenzana combines a historical railway connection with specific distances to the viaduct, and Radovac and Dugača provide distinct locations of cultural-historical interest. This lets you tailor your search for hotels in Antonci to the kind of stay you want.

Parenzana and Antonci Viaduct

The Parenzana is a restored section of the historic railway that connected Poreč with Trieste. The Antonci Viaduct is a specific point of interest along this route. From Vižintini, it is about 500 metres along the Parenzana to the viaduct; from the hamlet of Krti in Antonci, the distance along the route is about 700 metres. The distance from Vižintini is therefore approximately 200 metres shorter than the distance from Krti. Both figures describe the distance to the same viaduct from different starting points, so you are comparing route distances, not walking times.

Near Krti, the Parenzana passes through coniferous forest in places. The route as a whole features scenic views, stone viaducts and preserved tunnels with environmentally friendly lighting. Thus, for travellers interested in historic railway connections, the Parenzana offers both a specific landmark at Antonci and broader landscape and route features.

Istrian Wine Route

Antonci is one of the villages on the official Istrian Wine Route. Tour 156 covers 54 kilometres and is rated easy. The length and rating provide two different criteria for assessing the route: its extent and its level of difficulty. This makes the wine tour an extensive route, distinct from the local distances to the viaduct along the Parenzana. When choosing between these themes, you can consider whether the Wine Route’s character or the history of the railway connection and its individual points of interest is a better fit for your stay.

Archaeological Sites

The archaeological sites also form a distinct cultural-historical theme. Urn graves and an ancient archaeological site are located in Radovac. Dugača, near Antonci, is also an archaeological site. Radovac is therefore associated with two archaeological features, while Dugača adds another location of interest. Unlike the routes, these sites concern finds and burial traces, not a route length or the course of a former railway. If you would like to include historical topics beyond transport routes, Radovac and Dugača can form the archaeological focus of your travel plans.

Routes and Directions

As of 8 June 2026, maintenance and repair work on gravel roads as well as pedestrian and cycling paths was under way in Antonci and several other settlements. The work was intended to improve travel for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. It therefore affected both roads and paths for pedestrians and cyclists. For a current journey on foot, by bicycle or by vehicle, it is advisable to check the latest route information.
