Day Trips from Porec to Rovinj

Rovinj is frequently cited as the most romantic town on the Istrian Peninsula, and it’s only a 40-minute drive from the historic streets of Porec. The town is a tangle of pastel-colored houses that seem to rise directly out of the Adriatic, all leading up to the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia. Taking a guided day trip often includes a boat ride through the Lim Fjord, where you can see where oysters and mussels are farmed. It’s a seamless way to explore the narrow cobblestone alleys and artisan galleries while someone else manages the parking and coastal transit.
