Starići can be understood through its regional connections and a specific cultural landmark. Cycling follows the Poreč–Starići–Dračevac–Radmani corridor; nearby, the parish church of St. Roch stands in Fuškulin. Dračevac provides a reference point in the local road network. This gives you distinct focuses for planning your trip: cycling, architectural history, and a possible triathlon event.

Cycling and routes

Cycling follows the Poreč–Starići–Dračevac–Radmani corridor. Leisure cycling routes are different: they are planned mainly away from the main road corridors. For trip planning, it is important to note that the named corridor describes cycling, while the leisure routes are planned routes. Before cycling, check local infrastructure conditions and do not automatically assume that the planned leisure routes are usable. This way, you will not choose a ride based solely on a plan.

Another route in the nearby area is the Valkanela–Sveti Lovreč route. After passing Sveti Lovreč, it runs through Starici Marasi and Gradina. The exact spelling of the name helps with orientation: Starici Marasi should not be confused with Starići.

Triathlon programme

Plava Laguna’s triathlon programme includes Poreč Triathlon, Plava Laguna 5150 Triathlon Poreč, and Ironman 70.3 Poreč. Ironman 70.3 Poreč replaced the previous event series starting in 2022. The three names refer to different competitions. If a race is the reason for your trip, check the date of the specific competition before setting your travel dates.

Architectural history in Fuškulin

Outside Fuškulin, on a hill next to the cemetery, stands the three-aisled parish church of St. Roch. It was built in 1750 in the Baroque style on the site of an older church, and was extended and restored in 1829. Its architectural history thus links an earlier church site with the Baroque building and a later renovation. The three-aisled layout, style, and architectural development offer different ways to understand the same building: they describe its form, design, and changes over time. For those interested in culture, the church is a specific point of reference for the architectural history of the area.

Finding your way around the road network

Dračevac is a junction for local roads connecting Starići with Radmani, Valkarin, Fuškulin, Čuši, and Montižana. This is different from the cycling corridor as a point of reference: Dračevac brings together several local road connections, while the corridor denotes a specifically named sequence for cycling. The place names can help you locate the area on a map. However, they do not constitute a prescribed loop ride. Which connection is relevant to you depends on your destination.

When to travel and finding a holiday apartment

When looking for a holiday apartment, it helps to decide first what you want to focus on during your stay. A specific triathlon race ties your plans to its date; cycling and the architectural history of Fuškulin appeal to other interests. So consider whether a competition, cycling, or the cultural connection will shape your trip.
