Honey production, the picnic area equipped in 2024, and a historical connection in nearby Žbandaj give Radoši near Žbandaj several points of interest. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for a stay here, you can consider whether regional produce, spending time together outdoors or a cultural site should be a deciding factor in planning your trip.
Honey and local production
Remedy in Radoši kod Žbandaja produces classic Istrian varieties of honey, such as acacia, blossom, honeydew and ivy honey. It also offers creamy honeys with Mediterranean herbs, including mint, sage, rosemary and lavender. The combination of named varieties and herb honeys gives the place a specific culinary connection. Remedy is listed at Radoši 13 as a stop on the Istrian honey producers’ route.
A profile from 2017 also mentions acacia, chestnut, lavender and meadow honey, as well as Gym-Fit honey with pollen and propolis. The availability of these varieties may have changed. If you are looking for a particular variety, ask in advance whether it is available.
Outdoor picnic area
In July 2024, the picnic area in Radoši was equipped with wooden shelters, tables and benches. The facilities were intended for spending time together; during the summer months, the shelters provided shade from the sun. This gives the area a different connection to the place than honey production: the focus here is on taking a shared break outdoors. The facilities may have changed since then. Check the condition of the site before your visit.
A historical glimpse of beekeeping
A profile from 2017 describes an apiary, a honey-tasting and bottling room, and a beekeeping hut on the Kovač family’s estate in Radoši. If you would like to combine a visit with these facilities, ask in advance whether visits are possible.
An older report describes a farm in Radoši that welcomed individual guests and organised multi-hour farm tours and tastings of dishes made from the farm’s own produce for groups. If you would like to plan a tour or tasting, ask beforehand whether it is offered. The Kovač farm in Radoši was opened as the first Paleo agrotourism site in Istria.
A historical site nearby
The parish church of Saints John and Paul, dating from 1595, stands in nearby Žbandaj. It adds a specific historical point of interest to the area’s production- and leisure-related attractions. If you would like to include a place with a clear historical date alongside honey and time outdoors, Žbandaj is another point of interest in the area.
Which connection to the area suits your stay?
The topics mentioned can be grouped according to different interests: the honey route and varieties represent regional production, the picnic area offers a place to spend time together, and the church provides a historical connection. If you are combining your holiday apartment search with choosing a destination, you can first consider which of these themes you would like to shape your stay. It is advisable to enquire in advance about farm tours or tastings.
