ROVINJ
Have you already heard of the little Venice on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean? Yes, that is Rovinj. Without exaggerating it can be said that Rovinj is the real jewel of Istria which proudly carries the reputation of being one of the most beautiful tourist centres in the Mediterranean. If you take a walk along its steep, narrow medieval streets of smooth stone where practically every other doorway is an entrance to an art gallery or atelier, and if you look at all that beauty of closely huddled mansions and their innumerable chimneys, you will be for ever enamoured of this city. And if you climb to St. Euphemia, the white Baroque church of St. Euphemia crowning the town of which she is the patron saint, and whose body had miraculously floated here across the sea in its stone sarcophagus or so the 9th century legend tells us, you will realize that such a lovely sight is not often seen. With its rich fishing history, its picturesque port filled with wooden fishing smacks, boats and rowboats, and as many as 14 small islands, among which the nearby Red Island and St. Catherine deserve special mention, Rovinj is an example of a typical Mediterranean town which today breathes VALDALISO Camping with special artistic charm.
