Croatia. Istria. 02-03.01.2022

First point - Rovin

Some centuries Rovin was a part of Venezian Respublic and Italy. Just in 1947 Rovin become part of Yugoslavia.

Italian influence felt in all parts of old town, architecture, st.Euphemia bell-tower

On the 2nd Jan town is calm

It's a bit cold and wet on the air

Fog is still present

Checked the old wooden staircase in the bell tower and decided not to go there. I would see better view from the airplane

Sea is in front

Peninsula also was a good fort-post for the port

In summer Rovin is overcrowded

But in January it's perfect - no hot, no crowd

Tourists walk slowly and try to imagine summer craziness

Calm tourists, calm inhabitants, calm town

New year mood still there

Seagull and the sea. Make the same photo in vertical under requests (it's in the album logo)

From Rovin to Porech. Limsky fiord on the half way

Grapesyard near the fiord

Fiord is the result of Ice-age

Port in Porech is just the same as in Rovin or Pula

On this catamaran in 2003 we went to our trip from Porech to Venezia

Calm streets of Porech. Summer/winter difference made a great Wow effect

Google says that it's a strawberry tree
