Vrsar
 The little town of Vrsar is an enchanting old fishing settlement on the western coast of Istria between Rovinj and Porec, above the Lim Channel. This picturesque town is split into two parts - the historic old town filled with culture that has a colourful history lies on the top of the hill, while the more contemporary and lively other part of the town lies beneath, alongside the beaches and the marina.
The narrow, arched streets of the old town lead to the city gate, small squares, stone houses, Romanesque citadel, picturesque churches and three town Belvederes. The panoramas of Vrsar coastline are truly amazing: the most indented coastline of Istria is adorned by one of the most beautiful Mediterranean archipelagos comprising 18 uninhabited islands surrounded by the crystal clear Adriatic Sea.
Vrsar can be proud of its colourful history dating back to the prehistoric period. For centuries it has been known for its springs of drinking water because of which it got its ancient name Ursaria (old Mediterranean word "ur" or "spring"), as well as the nearby town Funtana (fountain), also a destination of ancient seafarers seeking for rest and refreshments. The Italian poet and adventurer Giacomo Casanova spent the summers of 1743 and 1744 in the romantic Vrsar and refers to the town in his famous memoirs.
The arable land of the area around the town is covered with wine grape and olive-groves and shells and other sea delicacies are farmed in the nearby protected nature park Lim Channel, which makes Vrsar favourite destination for gourmets and wine lovers. Tourism is an important link in Vrsar's economy and the town has been proclaimed as the best tourist destination on the Croatian Adriatic several times. Vrsar is a holiday destination for all those who love active vacation as well as for families. Today, just like in the old days, it is the favourite harbour for sailors with one of the best marinas in Croatia.
 Istria is the largest peninsula in Croatia
Visitors can enjoy solitary beaches, many naturist zones, fishing villages. The major tourist attraction of Porec is close by. In Istria you will find everything you could wish for in a holiday.
Away from the coast, there are small hillside towns, rocky outcrops, dense forests, mountains and fertile valleys, hence the reason why it is now being called the new Tuscany. Cliffs feature along some of the coast and in the bays among the cliffs, there are secluded shingle beaches.
