Porec Attractions

Porec is the most popular and well promoted tourist destination in Istria. South of the old town center is a string of hotels and tourist complexes along Plava Laguna and Zelena Laguna, that stretches on for about 6km / 3.5mi. In this area it's possible to arrange for any type of water sport from water skiing to parasailing, or to rent sporting equipment like boats and kayaks.

In the old town of Porec, which has won awards for being the "best kept town", visitors will find a traditional old Istrian town. Porec is based on the original Roman layout when the town was known as Colonia Julia Parentium. One of the highlights in the town is the Euphrasius Basilica, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the harbor, where cafés stretch along the promenade, water taxis offer service to the nearby island of St Nicholas (Sv Nikola). The island is popular for its beaches.
