Why it is worth your time
The lighthouse on the open-sea reef of Sveti Ivan, roughly midway along Istria's west coast, was built by the Austro-Hungarian authorities in 1853. It stands alone on the open sea west of Rovinj and is one of the oldest on the Adriatic.
Croatia Atlas tip
The lighthouse is reached only by boat; ask about trips from Rovinj harbour.
