Rovinj
Where Croatia meets Italy
The special romantic charm of Rovinj
makes it the heavenly heart of the Mediterranean and the star
attraction of Croatia's Istrian region.
The Italian influence on Rovinj is unmistakable, throughout the city
you will find signs in both Croatian and Italian. Its historic center
is modelled after Venice with a Venetian bell tower rising above it
all. A maze of narrow cobble stoned streets leads you to its
picturesque harbor surrounded by pastel colored houses. Rovinj has
always been known as a city of fisherman and is still an active fishing
port. Its surrounded by incredible nature with plush green parks ideal
for walking or biking and an archipelago made up 13 islands.
“JayWay took the task of
thinking out of traveling and left us with only the task of enjoying
the traveling. It saved us a lot of stress and planning, having someone
who is familiar with region is always helpful.”
Rovinj acts as an ideal base to explore the rest of the peninsula. The Italian feel extends out to other parts of Istria as many regard its countryside as the new Tuscany with rolling hills covered by vineyards and olive groves. The nearby towns of Pula famous for the Arena, Porec for the Euphrasius Basilica and Motovoun for its truffle production are easy day trips from Rovinj allowing visitors to capture the best of the region. Food and art lovers will not be disapointed as its restaurants serve up cuisine capturing the best tastes of the area and local artists present their works in various galleries.
