When most people think of Croatia, they think of southern Croatia, areas near Split and Dubrovnik. In 2015, I went to Istria in northern Croatia where the tourism isn’t as widely settled yet. Of course, there’s still some tourism going on, but there’s a different, more genuine feeling to Istria. And if you dig in to their history, you will notice there’s so much Istria can tell you.
Rovinj is a small city located on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula, a popular tourist resort, an active fishing port and definitely one of the most picturesque cities around the Mediterranean. Hop on to a boat from Pula and visit Rovinj for a day tour, or spend a night in the town at a private accommodation. Stroll around the narrow alleys and just enjoy all the pastel architecture. Then, I can recommend having some local sea food for dinner, which is the Adriatic speciality.
