Highlights
Rovinj
A small, charming town with narrow cobbled streets, striking many visitors as being very Italianate in nature. It is famous for the St Euphemia Cathedral, the highest church tower in Istria at 61 meters high. Rovinj was originally an island, but 250 years ago the narrow channel which separated it from the mainland was filled in. It is one of our favorite destinations on the Croatian Adriatic, as it’s so delightfully pretty, and also lively with its numerous cafes and restaurants, galleries and an active fishing port – in the mornings you can watch the fishermen come in as you have your breakfast.
Pula
Architectural and historical heaven, Pula holds most of the preserved Roman monuments and buildings in Istria. Its most famous attraction, the well preserved Roman amphitheater, is one of the most famous sights in the whole of Croatia.
Brijuni
The Brijuni islands are a collection of fourteen islands and islets in Istria off the northern part of the Croatian coast. All of the islands together comprise one of Croatia’s eight wonderful national parks. There are numerous archaeological sites with Roman remains on the Brijuni Islands. In those times Brijuni belonged to only one owner whose economic basis was the commercial production of salt and building stone at the local quarry.
