...and comprises lots of islands, of which only just over 60 or so are inhabited. It is said to be one of the cleanest seas in the Mediterranean and is wonderfully warm. Porec, our destination, was originally a Roman town positioned on a wooded peninsula amongst small bays and lots of uninhabited islands on the Istrian Riviera in northern Croatia.

The Hotel is located in the heart of the old town and overlooks the harbour. We were fortunate in that we had been allocated a room with a sea view overlooking this picturesque harbour.
