The Pearl of the Adriatic — ancient walls, crystal-clear sea, and Game of Thrones backdrops.
Rovinj is the jewel of the Istrian peninsula — a romantic fishing town where colorful houses rise straight from the sea. Often considered Croatia's most beautiful town: a copper-roofed basilica, winding cobblestoned networks, and artists' studios create a unique atmosphere.
