Rovinj

Formed by its dramatic history down through the ages, Rovinj, with its Old Town on a mound rising from the sea, and with its twisting Romanesque/gothic alleyways, boasts many structures dating from Renaissance, baroque and neoclassical times. This picturesque settlement with its numerous effortless accessible beaches is an excursion centre serving the surrounding district, nearby Limfjord for example, and all this makes the town an attractive tourist destination. Twenty-two islands set in a charming seascape off the coast offer exciting bathing and diving reachable easily by boat; the Red Island (Crveni Otok) is only one of the best. Numerous restaurants around the harbour, innumerable taverns and cafés as well as the Old Town's pedestrian zone simply cry out for you to explore.
