Rovinj
The most romantic town on the Mediterranean
Why visit Rovinj?
Rovinj is the crown jewel of Istria, a city that rises proudly from the sea with its crowded pastel-colored houses and the slender bell tower of the Church of St. Euphemia. This former fishing village has transformed into a destination that exudes Venetian charm and irresistible romance.
A Labyrinth of Alleys and Artistic Spirit
The Old Town is a labyrinth of cobblestone streets winding uphill, hiding small art galleries, studios, and charming cafes right on the coast. **Grisia**, the most famous art street, becomes an open-air gallery every year, while the scent of grilled seafood beckons from hidden courtyards and taverns where premium **Malvasia** is served.
Archipelago and Nature Under the Pines
Rovinj's surroundings are equally magical. The **Golden Cape** forest park offers miles of walking paths under pine trees and secluded beaches, while the Rovinj archipelago with its 22 islands and islets provides the perfect escape for those seeking privacy and turquoise seas. The sunset in Rovinj is considered one of the most beautiful on the Adriatic, a moment when the entire city takes on a golden glow.

The Dubrovnik Locals Don't Want You to Know About
Every summer, four million people pass through Dubrovnik. They walk the same streets, photograph the same views, eat at the same overpriced restaurants — and leave thinking they've seen the city. They haven't. The real Dubrovnik runs parallel to the tourist version, quieter, cheaper, and considerably more interesting. Here's where locals actually go.
