Old Town charm in a Poreč holiday apartment

Although it has stood for thousands of years the Old Town has lost none of its historic charm. Surrounded by water on three sides it is an atmospheric place of narrow lanes, shuttered windows and ancient stone walls. There are fascinating shops to browse through and cafe tables set in the shade of umbrellas to relax around once the shopping and exploring is done. Architectural treasures include Gothic palaces, the 13th century Romanic House, towers from the 15th century and the beautiful baroque interior of the former Istrian parliament building. It is also the site of the Mart Temple, the largest Roman shrine in Istria. But it is not all about history – Poreč also has a lively nightlife, colourful arts festivals and fantastic restaurants. Try the famous Istrian prut ham, dried in the wind and matured in spices for many months.
