Poreč is one of the most visited towns in Istria, situated on the peninsula's west coast beside a calm sea dotted with small islands. The historic old town stretches along a narrow peninsula and has preserved its Roman street layout to this day, with the main street, Decumanus, surrounded by a maze of old lanes. The town's jewel is the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its stunning Byzantine mosaics. Poreč has a long tradition of tourism and offers numerous coves and well-kept beaches lined with pine trees, ideal for swimming and relaxation for the whole family. From here it's just a short hop to Rovinj and Pula, so during your stay you can easily discover more of Istria's gems. The region is famous for its excellent Istrian gastronomy – truffles, olive oil and local wines, well worth tasting at one of the restaurants overlooking the sea. Thanks to its proximity to Central Europe, Poreč is quickly reachable by both car and plane. It's a great destination for families, couples and lovers of culture and history alike. We offer a wide range of apartments and private accommodation directly from the owners, with no commission. Weather in Poreč
