The coast of the harbour town Rovinj is magnificent in its beauty, with its 22 islands (Brioni). You will find picturesque olive groves, houses of Istrian stone masonry and Kazuni (ancient round huts with domed roofs). The town lies in the middle of unspoiled nature and used to be the prime holiday area for rich Roman families. Istria's mild climate ensures a wonderful stay all year round. Rovinj can rightfully be considered Istria's most beautiful town, with its houses, churches and palaces of the Venetian era.
