Discover Vrsar
Vrsar is the kind of place that rewards slow travel. This small hilltop town sits quietly between the tourist magnets of Porec and Rovinj, with its own harbor, its own beaches, and its own story.
Legend has it that Casanova himself visited Vrsar and wrote about it in his memoirs. The town has attracted artists and sculptors for decades — there's an open-air sculpture park and an annual summer art festival.
Just north of town lies the Lim Fjord — a dramatic 10-kilometer channel where fresh and salt water mix. It's famous for oysters and mussels, harvested right there and served at waterside restaurants.
What to See & Do
- Lim Fjord — boat trips through the channel, oyster and mussel tasting

Vrsar — Why Choosing the Quieter Option Is Worth It
Vrsar sits between Poreč (15 km north) and Rovinj (15 km south). At first glance, choosing it over either of those more famous towns might seem like settling. It's not.
The old town is perched on a hill above the marina, with a genuine village feel — stone houses, cats in doorways, a single church bell that marks the hours. The terrace restaurants on the hilltop have views that rival anything in Rovinj. The marina below has a calmer atmosphere than Rovinj's harbour.
The Lim Fjord (Limska Draga) is Vrsar's killer feature. The 10 km sea channel runs inland from just north of Vrsar, and the water inside is extraordinary — intense turquoise where the saltwater meets the fresh, fed by underground springs. Boat tours leave from Vrsar marina twice daily in summer. The oyster and mussel farms in the fjord are commercially harvested; you eat them with white wine at the waterside restaurants. Don't skip it.
Koversada — 1 km south of Vrsar — is one of Europe's oldest and largest naturist resorts. Mentioned as context, not as a recommendation. Worth knowing if you encounter the signage.
