Visiting Rovinj, Croatia

Rovinj is the most beloved town in Istria, a top sight in Croatia, and one of its most romantic spots. With its pastel-coloured houses clustered together on steep winding streets and topped by a Venetian bell tower, you would think you were in Italy. (see pictures of Rovinj)

Rovinj is still an active fishing port and you can take boats to the lovely offshore islands, Crveni Otok and Katarina. Scuba divers flock to Rovinj to dive the famous wreck, Baron Gautsch. (See Rovinj on a map)
