Sample Itinerary - subject to changes

Day 1: Arrival in Porec
Individual arrival at your start hotel in Porec.
If you arrive early we have a few suggestions for your first day in Croatia: either you visit the Brijuni islands by boat or the Limski channel, or you enjoy your day off by the sea or visit the hinterland of Porec. The Brijuni-islands are twelve smaller and 2 bigger islands; the main island Veli Brijun was used by the Yugoslav statesman Tito as summer residence. Today the islands are a National Park and only Veli Brijun is open to the public. Going by boat to the fjord-alike Limski channel you might be lucky and see some dolphins. The Limski-channel is National Park too and on the coast you find mussels and oyster farms.
Meals included: none
Overnight in Porec

Day 2: Porec to Rovinj
