A brief visit to Rovinj but so memorable. A costal city on the West side of Istria is a popular tourist destination during summer. The picturesque Old Town is a well preserved time capsule offering a glimpse into the past.

In Rovinj’s Old Town there are still stone built houses and walkways.

Rovinj is one of those places you see on postcard or in the old travel journals.

What better way to spend the evening than tasting local delicacies. From left to right, scallops, locally made pasta with truffles and a mix of local clams; Orca Restaurant, Rovinj.
Some say that Istria is in ways similar to Tuscany and Roving looks magical. I’ve been to Dubrovnik and I will definitely put Istria and Rovinj on my list of places to visit for my next trip to Croatia. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh, I heard about this region a few years ago and I had to Google it. Please check this article about Istria from CNN. “Istria is the New Old Tuscany” http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/08/25/newnam.istria.croatia/index.html
