Rovinj – 3 Things Not to Miss

1. Old town
Rises up on a peninsula and is a witness to times gone by and the valuable accomplishments of its past artisans. The limited space led to the construction of narrow buildings, streets and small town squares.

2. Saint Euphemia Cathedral
It was built in the eighteenth century, while its façade in Venetian-baroque style was added in the middle of the last century. At the top of the sixty-metre-high bell tower stands the copper statue of St. Euphemia, which shows the direction of the wind by turning on a spindle.

3. Kurent Bay
Kurent Bay and Montauro Cape are located 1.5 km away from the old town-center. Kurent Bay is covered with gravel and it is the most popular bay in this coastal area. The old forest near the shore provides shade throughout the whole day. Nearby there is a great field where many sport activties such as football, badminton, vollebally can be played. On the Kurent Bay there is a snack bar to fresh up . Near the bar you can find a deck chair rental service and the dressing cabins. In the vicinity of Kurent bay lay other small gravel beaches suitable for small children. The beaches at Montauro Cape are not so fascinating: high and steep rocks make access to the sea very difficult. There are only a few way where the sea is accesible. Usually these beaches are visited by naturists.
