Vrsar

This picturesque town, just 10 km south of Poreč, attracts with its idyllic beauty and rich history dating back to prehistoric times and the Roman era, when it was an important marketplace known for the estates (ville rusticae) of wealthy Roman aristocrats. Its history is also marked by the presence of the Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova, whose legacy is celebrated today with the Casanovafest - a festival of love and erotica.

Expanding around the bay to include the islets of Koversada, St. Martin, and Valkanale, Vrsar offers enchanting landscapes for exploration. The Montraker Quarry, a symbol of historical significance, and the International Sculpture School "Montraker" shape the creative spirit of this area. Artists like Edo Murtić find inspiration in these landscapes, while the Sculpture Park of Dušan Džamonja adds its own touch to the rich cultural mosaic. The Vrsar archipelago, with its eighteen islands and islets, provides a paradise for nature lovers and explorers. Koversada Beach, awarded the Blue Flag, entices visitors with its cleanliness and beauty, while the Kontija Forest offers peace and freshness in its woodland embrace.

Vrsar is a place where art blends with nature, creating a magical environment that invites exploration and enjoyment.
