Founded by the Romans and loved by the Venetians, this city is full of history. The beaches and crystal-clear waters, the cobbled streets full of history and the magnificent port fill this location on the Istrian Peninsula with beauty.
A Mediterranean city of stone
Discovering Poreč involves learning more about all its conquerors throughout history: Romans, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks, Venetians, Austrians... after more than 2,000 years, Poreč breathes history. Located around a bay protected by the small Saint Nicholas Island (Sveti Nikola), it has a 37km-long coastline with beaches alongside crystal-clear waters. The Italian influences are apparent every step of the way. Stroll through streets full of Romanesque and Gothic buildings, now converted into restaurants, bars and craft shops. The picturesque Mediterranean scenery and pine forests are ideal for hiking. A visit to the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica and World Heritage Site is a must, especially during the numerous concerts in summer.
