Gracing the west coast of Istria, Poreč calls upon hoards of travellers to enjoy an idyllic Croatian summer. Its Mediterranean surroundings of clear coasts and hinterland are accentuated by the rustic charm of old fortifications and buildings.
You can time-travel across centuries with a walk along the cobblestone streets of Poreč’s old town. Make your way to the Temple of Neptune – dating back to the first century – to explore the ruins of an ancient Roman structure dedicated to the god of the sea. One of the main historical highlights of the city is the Euphrasian Basilica, a noteworthy example of Byzantine architecture. At this UNESCO-listed church, you can spend time admiring its striking mosaic floors and walls.
Beyond its antiquated edifices, Poreč is bestowed with an abundance of natural beauty. The city’s proximity to the sea makes it an ideal destination for sunseekers to relax at Zelena Laguna Beach. Deviating a little from its coastal pleasures, is the Baredine Cave – a geomorphologic monument – where you can explore the curious shapes of stalagmites. If you’d like to give your time with nature an adventurous twist, head out on a mountain bike ride along the Parenzana trail.

There is lots of things to do in Poreč.

There is lots of things to do in Poreč. It's a lovely town with strong italian influence and the food is amazing. The access to the sea is sometimes difficult, so you need to pick the right spot. There is always something to do, so you will not get bored.

It's easy to walk round Porec - though it's a bit of a maze, so if you see something you like in a shop buy it there and then, or you might not find the shop again! We went on an evening boat trip with the company Monvi Tours - this was excellent - very friendly staff, and we even saw dolphins! We'd also recommend the Barolin Wine and Cheese Bar on Nikola Tesla street - for delicious Malvazija wine and a good range of fabulous Istrian cheeses. And excellent Istrian olive oil.

City Poreč is so beautifull city, and so diversable. You can have sporty vacation for all the beautiful with bike lanes between Green ian Blue Lagoon, so many walking paths under pine trees, numberous activities. You can be at the beach with lots of activities and loud music, or you can quickly find a quiet privat peace of beach, it really offers you what your heart desires. For the best local food experiance, I suggest Bacchus Vinoteka, in the old part of town.
Our initial impression was negative.
7 August 2023
Our initial impression was negative. So much traffic and tourists, and a lot of industry put us off. But the old town blew us away! So full of character, ambience and history. Highly recommended, even if it's just for a day trip.
The restaurants provide little diversity of dishes

The restaurants provide little diversity of dishes The is surely another way to prepare fish other then on a grill and served with washed out blitva and its not cheap either - low value for money The shops sell cheap goods and clothing The overpolulated icecream vendors and lack of healthy alternative The waiters callling out for customers is ugly Overall food and accomodation far too expensive relative to quality provided Poor public WC facilities near city beaches considering tourist population
Beautifull little town with vibrant atmosphere.

Beautifull little town with vibrant atmosphere. The beaches were absolutely well organized and well taken care off. But everything is extremely overpriced and very expensive in compare with the previous year.
