3Rovinj, Croatia
On the western coast of the Istrian Peninsula, Rovinj is a jewel of the Adriatic. Its old town is built on a small peninsula, with tightly packed houses rising toward the hilltop church of St. Euphemia.
Stone streets twist and turn, revealing art studios, hidden courtyards, and sea views at every corner. The harbor is lively but not overwhelming, and the sunsets here are some of the most beautiful in the region.
