Poreč Tourism Info

Poreč is a tourist destination on the western Istrian coast, and has been given a huge number of recognitions and awards, and is the many time “leader of Croatian tourism”.
What separates it from other destinations is its ideal position, tidiness, varied and wide selection of facilities, great range of accommodation, events and services that are adapted to each guest.
Poreč is not a classical tourist centre that only offers its visitors hotels, beaches, the sea and the sun. Poreč is a place with a long and turbulent history that has kept the traces of its past in its old town centre. After more than two millennia, it has kept its original architecture and cultural historical monuments, where of course the most significant is Euphraisus’ Basilica.
Asides from tourism and culture, Poreč has a sporting and fun side. Top sports persons love to come here for their preparations, yet it is also a place where you can have a good time in the summer bars and clubs.

Interesting facts
