Spent 3 days in Rovinj in mid may of 2008. Found the area very beautiful. Beaches are rocky, clear water. Prices for food seemed resonable with much emphasis on fresh veggies and seafood. Lots of pasta dishes. People are friendly and helpful for the most part and most speak English. We were outside of town but within walking distance of most everything. A scooter would be a good mode of transportation. The streets in the old section were being rebricked and cobbled, they should be done by the time you go. The pictures you have probably seen will be real when you get to the port of Rovnj. Like they come alive!! Hope you have a great time. We did. and I would return ....Norma

Hi Dave,

My boyfriend and I booked an apartment near the Adriatic Hotel (overlooking the harbour) in July 2006. We had a fantastic time, Rovinj is beautiful - you won%26#39;t be disappointed. We booked flights with Flyglobespan and flew into Pula, and took a taxi from Pula airport to Rovinj.

There%26#39;s a small grocery store just round the corner from the Adriatic Hotel, prices are not too bad, and if you walk further up that street there%26#39;s a bakery shop and a market that sells fresh fruit and veg. Be warned though - there are two prices going on in the market - a tourist price and a local price! There%26#39;s also a supermarket near the bus station - head towards the sea and it%26#39;s on your left.

There are lots of nice places to eat in Rovinj and one of my favourites was %26#39;Neptune%26#39; - the food and service were great - try the gravy baked beans! There are lots of great ice creams shops along the front too.

You can go on day trips to Venice from Rovinj (in July 2006 it cost £40). We hired a car and went down to Plitvice Lakes National Park. It is an incredible place but it took about 5 or 6 hours to get there. Other nice places to visit are Pula (the bus to Pula was dirt cheap at that time)and Porec. In our hire car, we toured around lots of small villages too.

If you want to do something really memorable while you%26#39;re there, go to the roman ampitheatre in Pula (not far from the bus station). They have concerts/drama productions on there and the atmosphere is just wonderful (they had a production of Swan Lake on when we were there). It can be quite expensive to get tickets though.

Pula also has lots of nice places to eat - we grabbed a quick bit in a wee cafe called Garfields (near the market). The veggie sandwiches are to die for (and they%26#39;re cheap!).

Enjoy!
