Camping Porton Biondi

The Istrian peninsula, the biggest in the Adriatic Sea, is well known for its spectacular beaches, quiet coves, clear sea and first-class scenery, so get out around it for days of hiking, walking, biking or tackling the many watersports available in the area. You could also island hop around the Rovinj archipelago's 19 isles, or bike/hike around its coastline, where the scenery and sights are so spectacular they're designated 'outstanding scenic wonders'. In town, have a look at the Rovinj Town Museum and the 18th-century Church of St. Euphemia, before a wander along to the Golden Cape (Zlatni rt) Forest Park, four kilometres from base, or the maritime reserve and karstic canyon of the Limska Draga Fjord, five kilometres away. The Bronze Age hill fort of Monkodonja seven kilometres away is also well worth a look, as is the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Euphrasian Basilica, within 32 kilometres. Other options are the ornithological reserve of the Palud marsh and the Dvije Sestrice islands, 11 kilometres away, and the Byzantine seaside resort of Poreč, 33 kilometres from the site.
