Rovinj

Rovinj is Istria’s prettiest and most-loved seaside destination. It lies on Istria’s sunny west coast. You might already be familiar with Croatia as one of the best yacht charter destinations, but if you’ve never been to Rovinj, it may be time to try it.

This quaint fishing village is on the Adriatic coast, just south of Venice, Italy, and north of Dubrovnik, Croatia. With its tiny streets and beautiful harbor location, Rovinj has a feel unlike any other place in Croatia, or even in Europe for that matter.

Rovinj Old Town sits on a tiny peninsula, which was initially an island. Pastel-colored Venetian-era facades rim the deep curving fishing harbor, overlooked by a lovely hilltop church. South from here, on the coast, are some of Croatia’s most luxurious contemporary hotels. Sailing crews moor up along Rovinj’s quayside to come ashore and explore its romantic cobbled alleys. Meanwhile, excursion boats shuttle tourists around the 14 green islets of the Rovinj archipelago.
