Croatia Trip - Day 14 & 15 - Poreč


















Poreč is a little touristic town located on the west coast of the Istria peninsula.  It has beautiful beaches, luxurious resorts and charm to attract tourists.  The rocky and accessible coast is dotted with numerous swimmers and holidaymakers.  The city has been catered for tourists for centuries.  It is charming during days and nights.

The most important sightseeing point is basilica of St. Euphrasiusis, the best preserved monument of early Byzantine art dating from the sixth century.  The upper parts of the central apses are decorated with exquisite mosaics of exceptional artistic value.  The mosaic floor dated back between second and sixth century.



Another two 'must be mentioned' are the seaside and sunset. Tourists enjoyed swimming and sun bathing along the rocky beaches. It took an hour to walk from end to end to pass through beaches and resorts on the eastern side.  I saw a cute fat boy jumping into the sea with splashes of water.  He was so fond of it and repeated the jumping endlessly.  It's fun watching.

For beautiful sunset, stay on the western quay or hop to a nearby island with a resort.  If you are hotel guests of the mainland, you can get a free boat ride to the opposite shore for a nice cool swim and beautiful sunset.
