The Porec coastline is one of the most visited tourist spots in Croatia. And it is easy to understand why. With trees growing right up to the water’s edge, this stretch of coast is stunning.<\/p>\n

\"visit<\/a><\/p>\n

Beaches such as Oliva Beach on the island of Sveti Nikola, Brulo Beach and Crnika, are all blessed with unsurpassed natural beautiful where thankfully construction hasn’t dug in its heels. Without being forced to endure a coastline ruined by vulgar high rise buildings and greasy caf\u00e9s, on the Porec coast tourists can\u00a0 take in the inimitable beauty of\u00a0 Croatia.<\/p>\n

In 1997 the town of Porec was declared a UNESCO world heritage site and rightly so. This old historic town is beautiful, interesting and has much to offer its visitors. The Euphrasius Basilica from the 6th<\/sup> Century is one of the most interesting monuments in Porec. While this magnificent Basilica was being built, we Britons were locked in a Dark Age turmoil – savages by comparison and centuries behind.<\/p>\n

The old town of Porec is built on a tiny peninsula and has been inhabited for thousands of years. The Northern Tower, the Circular Tower, the Temple of Neptune and the Mart Temple all stand out,\u00a0 as do the Gothic, Neo-Gothic and Baroque palaces of the town. You really need to spend some time here in order to drink down all the history.<\/p>\n

Walking around the sea front of the peninsula is wonderful, flanked on one side by the stupendous\u00a0 historic old town of Porec and the clear blue Mediterranean Sea on the other. Boats bob up and down on their moorings and just a short distance out to sea lies the densely-wooded Fortuna Island. A short boat trip to the island allows one to take in a completely different aspect of this beautiful old town.<\/p>\n

If you are deliberating where to go on your 2014 holiday, if you seek stunning natural gratification coupled with fascinating history and culture, then you really should make Porec and its coastline a contender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
