Introduction
Rovinj enjoys a fortunate position as the most enchanting of Istria's seaside towns. The Church of St Euphemia looks out over the town from its hillside perch, with the option of climbing the tower available for those seeking to take full advantage of the panoramic vistas.
Narrow cobbled streets meander throughout the old town and events such as the Grisa open-air art exhibit in August add to the town's atmospheric charm.
Rovinj still stays true to its traditional lifeblood; in the harbour fishing boats float side by side with the classy yachts of summer visitors, while boat trips provide sun worshippers with a chance to take a dip in the Adriatic, or simply sunbathe on deck.
