Things To Do
Punta Corrente Park
The Punta Corrente park forest (in Croatian: „Zlatni Rt“) – is located on the south of the city. The forest park was bought by a austrian landowner named Hutterodt in the late nineteenth century. The whole park was planted with numerous pine trees, cypresses a variety of exotic trees that were protected by the stone walls typical for the region. Punta Corrente forest is ideal destination for a nice relaxing daytrip.
Sveti Andrija
Crveni Otok (Red Island) is not red and it's composed of two islets--Sveti Andrija and Maskin--not just one. Details. What's important is that these pine and scrub-covered islets make a wonderfully, relaxing day trip from Rovinj. Only a 20-minute boat ride lands you on Sveti Andrija, largely devoted to the four-star Hotel Istra, from which you walk across a short causeway to Maskin. There are no cars on either islet; nothing ruffles the air but sea and wind. The island has been occupied since the 6th century when the Benedictines built a monastery on Sveti Andrija. On Sveti Andrija, there's a watersports center with lessons in windsurfing or sailing. The stony beach has a shallow drop-off making it safe for kids. Maskin's indented coast is dotted with rocky coves and paths that wind through the pines making it beautiful for walking. Even though not an "official" naturist site, the secluded coves are perfect for getting that all-over tan.
Ulica Grisia
A must see attraction in Rovinj undoubtedly include the artist’s street Grisia. There You can see painters, potters and artisans showing thier products. Also, Grisia – is an art exhibition taking place in the street with the same name. Don’t miss: Big outdoor exhibition at the beginning of 8. month in Grisia Street. Its a period when artists showcase their recent works. For sure You wont be disappointed!
Brijuni National Park

It is an archipelago of 14 islands, the two largest Mali Brijuni (Small Brijuni) and Veliki Brijuni (Large Brijuni) can be visited. However when we talk about the national park Brijuni we actually talk about the largest island where most of the people go to discover its vegetal species, exotic animals and its train safari.
Pula
Pula is situated at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula and is the area's largest city. Located beneath seven hills and with views of the Adriatic, Pula's unspoiled natural surroundings are magical. Known for its mild climate and tame, beautiful sea, Pula also has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing and shipbuilding. It is also home to many ancient Roman buildings, including the well-preserved, magnificent amphitheater.
Otok Krk
This island is close to "home base" when we are in Croatia. We love the drive across the bridge and exploring the town, and finding smaller beaches to take a summer siesta on. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g303824-Activities-c61-t52-Krk_Island_Kvarner_Bay_Islands_Primorje_Gorski_Kotar_County.html
