Once an important Roman town and harbor, Poreč was subsequently conquered by the Byzantines and Venetians. Today it is one of the most integral Istrian towns and is well worth visiting. Poreč is the center of the largest holiday area in Istria and is known as the Riviera of Istria. Aside from the great tourist influence, Poreč has retained its traditional culture and town spirit. The rich tourist tradition and attractive hotels, modern tourist complexes, green forests and Mediterranean vegetation are just some of the reasons for the continued tourist development. A haven for international tourists and athletes, it has a good variety of nightlife including discotheques, bars and dance clubs. A visit to the old part of town, with its important cultural and historical sights including the Euphrasian Basilica (under the protection of UNESCO), is a must. Here you will also find some interesting archaeological remains which bear witness to the population density of the area even in prehistoric times. The remains of forums and temples reveal the importance of the Roman presence in the area. In Poreč you can sense the old spirits and discover traces of great cultures visible on every step of the old town and narrow streets. From Poreč you can take excursions to Rovinj, which has been a cultural monument since 1963, or to the Limski Channel. By boat you can visit the Brijuni Islands National Park or Pula and Medulin, both well-known tourist resorts. Here you will also find the Peninsula Cape, a large and protected natural area.
