What to see in Poreč

Poreč is a town nearly two thousand years old. It was built around a harbour protected from the sea by the islet of Sveti Nikola. Besides the mentioned island, the town itself also includes two smaller islands, Altijež and Regata, and six more small rocky islets of various shapes and sizes.

The Poreč region stretches 37 kilometres along the coast, from the Mirna river in the north to Funtana and Vrsar in the south.

The climate here is mild, without summer sultriness. It is very pleasant, and guests recognise it. August is the hottest month of the year, with very low air humidity, which means there are no muggy days that people normally tolerate poorly. Sea temperatures can be noticeably higher than in southern Dalmatia.
