Porec is a small fishing harbour lying just north of Rovinj on the Istrian Riviera. The town's origins date back to Roman times and today it's one of Croatia's most popular holiday resorts. The old town of Porec boasts characteristic houses and immaculate, ancient stone-paved streets which bustle with cafes, street painters and live entertainment. At the centre of the historic quarter is an early Christian cathedral which is adorned with glittering mosaics. Porec is also a haven for people who enjoy the outdoors and nature with sports centres offering boating, walking and cycling along the stunning coastline.
