10. Porec, Istra, Croatia
Istra, the Mediterranean region, the closest part to Central Europe is the area where different influences meet. Natural, ethnographic, gastronomic and urban diversity in such a small space always leave room for surprises and new discoveries.
Without its coastline, it just would not be what it is, but the interior of the peninsula is also full of attractions – caves, medieval towns, stunning relief, vineyards, truffles, olive oil, honey … With more than two thousand years of history and old town located on the peninsula, Porec is one of the most important tourist destinations on the west coast of Istra. Here you can see the Euphrasian Basilica in the historic center of Porec. Basilica is on the list of World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, and in it you can see the beautiful mosaics from the 6th century.
