Right in the middle of Istria’s west coast, Porec is a popular family resort. You’ll be dazzled by the Italian influenced architecture and roman historic sites dotted along the streets filled with shops, cafes, gelato kiosks and restaurants. Take a stroll starting from the main square where the magnificent 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica stands proud. Meander along the cobblestoned streets that lead down to the waterfront lined with restaurants, bars and cafes perfect for a bite to eat or drink whilst watching the sunset. From here you can even experience a boat trip to Venice for the day. It’s the perfect mix of old and new creating an inviting holiday ambience.

Like all of Croatia, Porec has a long and fascinating history. It dates to prehistoric times and was called Picugi when it was home to the Illyrian tribe called Histri around 800BC. In 129BC the Roman's captured the town, but since then it has passed through the hands of the Venetian Empire, the Austrian Empire and Italy. It suffered badly in World War II when 75% of the houses in the town were destroyed. It went to Yugoslavia in 1947 until Croatia declared itself independent in 1991.
There are many things to see and do on family days out both in and around Porec. Visit the Baredine Caves and see the amazing stalactites, stalagmites and underground lakes, or explore the aquarium in the heart of the town centre. You can also enjoy boat trips to Sveti Nikola Island and day trips to nearby Pula, Medulin and Plitvice National Park. Plus, there is the incredible Aqua Colors Porec, the largest waterpark in Croatia which has 13 waterslides, two large pools and playgrounds to keep children and teenagers happy all day long. Our family villas in Porec all come with private pools, so even a day relaxing in the sunshine will entertain all ages.
