Arrive at Pula Airport, where a private transfer will meet you in arrivals and take you directly to your chosen Rovinj Hotel. Head out to the beautiful old town and explore its winding, narrow streets.
The capital of the Istrian region, Pula's history goes back thousands of years, excelling in the Roman times, making it one of Istria's leading attractions. Roman ruins are dotted all around its centre, including the famous Ampitheatre, that held 23,000 people and is the second largest in the world, after that in Rome. The Trimphal Arch of Sergii and the Temple of August are other sites worth seeing. You can easily get to Pula, from Rovinj, by using one of the regular buses.
Spend the day relaxing poolside or at the beach for a slice of R&R in the Croatian sun.
Check out of your hotel in Rovinj and your private transfer will pick you up and take you to your chosen hotel in Porec. Head to its historic old town, home to the stunning 6th century Euphrasian Basilica, a World Heritage Site, where the glittering mosaics draw in the visitors. Views of the old town from the belfry are worth the climb.
Yes, you’ve read correctly, you can visit one of Italy’s best known cities on a day trip from Rovinj. In the summer months a fast catamaran departs most days to Venice where you can bask in the splendour of the Grand Canal palaces. It is strongly advisable to book well in advance as it’s an extremely popular route for day trippers.
One of Croatia’s hidden gems, the region of Istria is very well known for its beautiful coastline including Rovinj, however away from the coast it is often overlooked. Hilltop towns, olive groves and vineyards give this area more of a Tuscan feel than Croatian. Visit the stunning town of Motovun, perched high up on a 227m hill, famous for its Venetian heritage, truffles and international film festival held in late July. Groznjan is another beautiful hilltop Istrian town, famous for its influx of artists.
The beaches in and around Porec are well maintained and many boast Blue Flag status, in fact over twenty in the Porec area have now earned this honour, a fifth of all in Croatia! With so many pine trees that line its shores you won’t have to worry about the midday sun. Most beaches here are pebble, rocky or cemented. The Town beach is a sure hit or you could hire a kayak or canoe and head a little further out to explore and relax at a less touristy spot
Check out and you'll take your private transfer to Pula Airport. We hope you've had a wonderful time in Croatia.
