On this day, we visited Porec. Before we get to the impressive basilica complex, here are a few impressions of this pretty town.

Euphrasian Basilica Poreč
The most significant attraction in Poreč is the Euphrasian Basilica. It is a World Heritage Site, and the complex that can be visited consists of the baptistery, the bell tower, the bishop's palace, several mosaics, and the basilica.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c0f21481ed.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4b749ecd43.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...83e7d330b1.jpg The courtyard https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9e96e63100.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dc0816f794.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9c4e13fca9.jpg The baptistery. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...52870fba52.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cc2b1e8922.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f650d06b3e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0f2fff5ac2.jpg From the baptistery, you reach the Campanile. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6670b9ce25.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c3af39d515.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dd5dcf6e03.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dbf0e27a13.jpg The view https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f6e0d2312.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e361823eee.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...59852f6391.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7accab263e.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...349d3c0b8e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...78ca429097.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2ec3d653a4.jpg |

We continued towards the Bishop's Palace.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d683075e90.jpg The palace now serves as a museum. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...13929e8829.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...63b7daf1a8.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f87022905d.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fe7af0a669.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4e899725c5.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...75b8a7a883.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6936047131.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ee6f03e8e6.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7238af6158.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f740a9bfeb.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d8a5a116e3.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a9b542885c.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2500e9b9f8.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...14334b91cd.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b351e66eb4.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f890df8d4.jpg There is also something to see in the basement. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...81ccbf6bec.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c1d72efa32.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1e30585e2a.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...74eb5f9844.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8c15f9898f.jpg The largest mosaic is located outside. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...33f4ba3381.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c4e8a96ec7.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9dea03059d.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7810e3ccec.jpg |
Euphrasian Basilica Poreč
The tour continues through the old sacristy.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...158d015d7e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b2c9c994b8.jpg Then you finally enter the basilica. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3fef1370fa.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2298f2d372.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b22e0b0518.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...134b4f867d.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3ee583dccc.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4faa379f18.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6f4e4ac5dc.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...87a42e2858.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e8f881dbfa.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...87dc76a277.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1e56ef2389.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b2c85dcd7b.jpg |
Limski kanal
The Limski Canal is an inlet and nature reserve. There is a viewpoint, but I forgot to take photos of the numerous stalls.

Delfin Rovinj
Since I was already in Rovinj, I wanted to go on a dolphin tour. I chose the Delfin, one of the larger boats available. Some of the boats that go out are pretty much just nutshells. The trip itself was quite nice, with good views of Rovinj and a few dolphins to see, but it was difficult to get a good photo of them. It was quite cool and windy on the boat – guess which idiot was the only one wearing a polo shirt and no jacket. But hey, you just have to play the outdoor enthusiast and push through. It was annoying that after a while, an endless number of boats turned up and got on the animals' nerves.

Grand Park Hotel Rovinj Cap Aureo
Cap Aureo is one of the hotel’s two Michelin-starred restaurants; it has one star.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7cc25d7f9d.jpg The restaurant is dark inside. This effect is further heightened by the fact that every time a guest left, the lamp on their table was switched off. By the end, it was completely dark, so we asked for more light. To cut a long story short, the décor wasn’t really our cup of tea. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2762234828.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...11c8ba471b.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...76cf24aa7e.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...89fc9921cb.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9f82e41806.jpg Welcome https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5259fa4ce3.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...04cdb2e4be.jpg The menu consists of lots of small dishes, and you can put together your own meal from them. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...572bf7cb0a.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...88c916258c.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c8578c7074.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b3bda8f52e.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...82ed263839.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...788d1b7ec9.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e5554d1b96.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...43aabb2b86.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ba68e65644.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5ba3c1f53f.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b8231f9931.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d15172fde6.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...88262cf4d3.jpg We opted for the 10-course menu with non-alcoholic drinks. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4607095ca3.jpg |

The majority was nothing I really need. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b12aa2c6b1.jpg Scampi - salsify . beer - charred scampi, confit of salsify, beer butter https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...970002a728.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eca62a4e8a.jpg Mussels - scallops - oysters - leeks - cooked in its own broth, seard in rosehip oil, creme, butter fried and emulsion https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fdbc06b90a.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f858fb3b12.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...20fd67b2d6.jpg Both dishes were decent, but nothing more. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...49ef6457ea.jpg Lobster - the Adriatic one + cabbage - both cooked on coal, cumin and immortelle butter, sauerkraut beurre blanc https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...81b5510428.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...dde0d8974b.jpg Lobster is always a safe bet. This one wasn’t bad either, but once again, it wasn’t particularly memorable.

To be honest, I’d had enough by then. I didn’t like the atmosphere, the service was painfully slow, and the drinks weren’t really to my taste. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...45a92397e8.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8dd6fe459e.jpg Turbot - Jerusalem artichokes + caviar charred and buttered, creme and crisp, oscietra https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3611053859.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b58a09b37f.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...21d5ccdd02.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4fb0377212.jpg Well done – the kitchen manages to use one fish fillet for two evenings. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ac7f248b5e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b8800b6fa6.jpg Pan roasted monkfisch, smoked butter, mushrooms - barbecued, dust and garum https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...07cb1b2fe7.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...48aea07ff4.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ec03e01780.jpg Quite good https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...968a891946.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b8ead1e857.jpg A collection of Istrian cattle and herds cheese - Kaldir apple Tart Tartin, brioche https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2a579f06c6.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a9268379ab.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bd7bf5ddfd.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...22ea975265.jpg At that point, GF stopped eating; she’d had enough and went to out room. I stayed at the table a bit longer. When it came to the drinks, only one was served and charged for; her dessert was charged for but never brought out. I’ll say this up front: we really didn’t need two of them, but it was still annoying. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...02af7951a6.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b3f00337e9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ba73f3f8a6.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...589a51cd8f.jpg Persimon - pine nuts - mandarin - rosehip - Sorbetto, milk, creme + semi dried, oil https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...109c5ab47e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2c22e9fb39.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d78f93a10b.jpg I love desserts. But a lot of pastry chefs try to make something really special, and this is what they end up with. A simple chocolate pudding or sponge cake would be a better choice. Petit fours https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...794e13bafb.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bdab23fd01.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c22da2e5b6.jpg Then the bill arrived and came as a surprise. €210 instead of €180 for the set menu. A surcharge for large portions? When I asked, they corrected it, but that was the icing on the cake. The evening felt like a washout, and I was dissatisfied with the dinner. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...58312e7729.jpg |
Opatja
We headed to Opatija, one of Croatia’s best-known seaside resorts. It has a long promenade featuring the famous Grand Hotel Kvarner.

Croatian Museum of Tourism Villa Angiolina Opatja
The Croatian Museum of Tourism is housed in a villa.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eee79206c8.jpg The exhibition isn’t particularly large, but it’s quite interesting. It’s certainly not a must-see, but it’s quite nice for a quick visit. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3afc199e08.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e83dcff0f2.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...62fc62395a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...625058946d.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d48224e27c.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c9ce7547de.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a1cc4e057f.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...047de46194.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0820f544fa.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e8aad13b21.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...495585d030.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e6e6aa3891.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...68b43bc096.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...130e1c9993.jpg |
The Wall of Fame Opatija
At the end of 2005, a Walk of Fame was created to honour figures who have put Croatia on the map. Well, you can certainly walk along it.

St. Jacob's Church Opatija
This is the former abbey church of the monastery from which Opatija originated. It was renovated in 1937.

Hotel Imperial Opatija
No, we didn’t just pop into the Royal on a whim. We just had a drink and a bite to eat in the café there. We really liked the interior, but unfortunately that was about it. The cream slice was still quite OK, but the ice cream (from closed containers) was, sadly, a total disaster.
