Experience Rovinj and its surroundings from the sea
Rovinj is a charming and picturesque town located in northern Croatia. Originally built on an island, the canal that had previously separated the town was filled in 250 years ago, and the town became part of the mainland. Rovinj is incredibly beautiful, and also a lively town with plenty of bars and tourists attractions, galleries and a vibrant fishing port. So don't miss a visit to the town before you head out to sea.
One of the most famous sights in the city is St Euphemia's Church, which was completed in 1736. It is the largest Baroque building in Istria and the 61-metre high church tower is also the tallest on the entire peninsula. From the church tower you also have a great view of the rooftop islands of Rovinj, the turquoise sea and the nearby islands.
Even the Old Town of Rovinj is an experience in itself and you will get a good idea of what life was like in the town when it was still an island. Here you can wander the cosy alleys and cobbled streets before heading to the town's harbour for a drink or a bite to eat.
But Rovinj is just one of many destinations along the Croatian coast where Click&Boat has boats. Don't miss checking out some of our other destinations on the Adriatic coast either:
