Charming little gem of Istria

Poreč is the enchanting coastal city in Croatia situated on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula. Its climate is extremely mild and free of oppressive summer heat. You can pay a visit in Poreč City every time in the year. Its location is awesome so you can easily reach Opatija, Rijeka or the island of Krk.

Explore lovely Poreč city

Poreč architecture

The Old Town preserved the street layout of the ancient Roman castrum. The main streets Dekumanus and Cardo Maximus still preserved its original ancient form. You really need to see the Church of Our Lady of the Angels. It is located in the Old Town and built between 1747 and 1770. The church is small and quiet, it has an impressive wall and ceiling art.

In the Decumanus Street, you can also find the Roman Ruins. You can enter freely, and it is very easy to find and access. Simple to see, but extraordinary when you think about these stones being here for 2000 years. This precious place is placed on the cape near a beautiful villa with a wonderful sea view.

At the end of Decumanus Street, you will stumble on the lovely little Marafor Square. Great place to sit and watch the people and the world go by. With a few restaurants and bars, this is the beating heart of the Old Town of Poreč.

Near Marafor Square by the Decumanus Street, there is the Romanesque House. The 13th-century residential house, beautifully preserved with a wooden balcony and mullioned windows. It represents one of the most rear preserved architecture of the Romanesque periods.

You really can’t go to Poreč and not visit the Euphrasius Basilica. Basilica has well-preserved ancient mosaics and architectural details. It shows us how this church that dates back to the fifth century evolved with time. From the bell tower, there is a magnificent view worth climbing because you can see whole charming little Poreč city.

Relaxing and recharging

Poreč is a perfect place for a rest. Pebbly beaches, crystal clear sea, great weather, peace, and quiet will give you a pleasure of a holiday in this small town.

The Beach Brulo is settled in a beautiful cove, and it’s surrounded by pine trees which make a needed shade in the summer. Crystal clear sea, rich facilities for all ages make this beach a perfect choice for a recess.

On the northern side of Poreč lies the beach Borik from which you can have a beautiful view of the Old Town core. The beach has plenty stuff for kids fun and relaxation. You can rent a deck chair and lie under a sunshade, listen to the sound of the sea while you are cooled by a gentle breeze. While kids play the tennis, ping-pong, beach volleyball or mini golf.

  • If you like water slides then, the water park Aquacolors will be a perfect place for spending your day on vacation. Colorful and awesome water slides will make you laugh and put a smile on your face. Its great place for kids and the big ones too. You should definitely put it on the itinerary.
