Rovinj-Rovigno, romantic Mediterranean
On the magnificent coast of Istria (Croatia), right below the Lim Fjord, is the most romantic place in
the Mediterranean! The town of Rovinj is the right destination for all of you seeking a sentimental
atmosphere of the times that have forever gone by. In the Mediterranean, you can find it here, in the
town that has begun its romantic life on an island, its restricted area resulting in crowded houses,
narrow streets and small squares, still untouched by modern urbanism. On the seaside, the town is
protected by a high rocky shore and house walls built on cliffs, while the mainland side is protected
by solid walls. The town is dominated by the baroque St. Euphemia’s Church, its 60-meter tower
providing a view of grey and red rooftops and chimneys, streets and squares, the port and pier
with ships and boats, and the marina harboring yachts. This unique old town core, the 67-kilometer
shoreline, 2,289 ha of protected green surfaces and improved park forests, 16 islands, islets and reefs,
make this town unique. Built upon a rich fishermen’s tradition, it has become distinctive for its unique
boat called batana and its songs bitinada. Its beauty was particularly appreciated by artists who have
painted the most beautiful motifs here and exhibited them on Grisia, the street of artists.
This is place providing endless options – walks in wonderful nature, sport and recreation activities,
sailing, diving, climbing, biking, discovering hidden beauties, cultural antiques, archeological sites
and culinary specialties, all combined with accommodation in high-quality hotels, tourist resorts
and camps providing numerous possibilities for a pleasant holiday, wellness delights, business
conferences and sporting activities.
Romantic and mysterious, yet full of options for an unforgettable time, Rovinj has become and will
remain a town you want to revisit.
