Why it is worth your time
Vrsar climbs a low hill above its own harbour, its stone lanes spiralling up toward the church at the summit. Wander the alleys for glimpses of the sea between the rooftops, then drop back down to the water for a coffee among the boats. It makes an easy half-day trip down the coast from Poreč.
