Walk Poreč’s Roman forum and step inside the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, then follow the coast to Lim Bay’s oyster farms and cliff-fringed waters. This half-day excursion pairs compact urban history with calm Adriatic scenery.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the bus into a sun-warmed square where stone has been smoothed by centuries of footsteps. Narrow lanes lead toward a compact old town: low Roman walls, a forum slab underfoot and the Euphrasian Basilica’s bell tower rising above red tile roofs. Sea air threads through the alleys, carrying salt, espresso and the hint of oyster beds far down the coast.
