Rovinj, a charming town on a small peninsula, boasts a rich history influenced by Venetian culture, exemplified by its picturesque architecture and lively atmosphere. Early mornings start with locals gathering at bakeries like Il Fornaio for traditional pastries and espresso, underscoring the townâs vibrant culinary scene. Historically significant, Rovinj served under Venetian rule for almost five centuries, earning the nickname 'Little Venice.' The combination of serene seaside views, storied past, and gastronomic delights gradually attracts a new wave of travelers seeking unique experiences.
It's early in Rovinj, just past 7am on a blue-skied Sunday morning, and the town is still asleep. The night before, this small harbour - brimming with dayboats, small yachts and traditional batana fishing boats - was humming with activity.
Rovinj was one of the first towns in Istria to fall to Venice in 1283, and was under their rule for around 500 years. It's no wonder they call it 'Little Venice'.
