The Istria region
Situated in the direct proximity of the Western European civilization on one side and on the border of a different cultural milieu on the other, Istria has an enviable history, written at the crossroads of three large European cultures- Slavic, Roman, and German. Millennial political claims, incessant tensions, and the division of this small area among various states and political influences of dominant European powers decisively influenced the specificity of life and variety of cultural influences on the Istrian peninsula. Through the peninsula, since the ancient times, roads went from the Mediterranean to mid-Europe, or the area of Pannonia and the other way round. Through the tumultuous Istrian history, we mark frequent changes of rulers - from the Roman Empire and Byzantium, through the Frank State, the Aquileian Patriarchy, Venetian Republic, the Pazin County, Illyric Provinces, Austria, Italy, to Yugoslavia. On this turbulent area, historic events were caused by frequent migrations and refugees, which also causes the changes of population, traditions, and cultures. Numerous nations left their traces in this area: the Liburni, the Histri (after whom the peninsula was named), the Greeks, the Celts, the Romans, the Ostrogoths, the Byzantines, the Langobards, the Croats, the Franks, the Venetians, the Austrians, the Italians ...
Rovinj / Centener area
ROVINJ
When you go up to the Old Town that is squeezed on a narrow peninsula, when you walk through its steep meandering lanes, cobbled squares and campiellis, you enter the centuries past by. To stop in front of the baroque town hall (17th century), enter the church of St.Euphemia (18th century), take a look of the Chapel of Holy Trinity (13th century), breathe in the peculiar air of the old manuscripts in the Franciscan monastery (18th century), wander through the Town Museum, stop and listen when the Clock strikes the magical Rovinj hours... You have just started a trip through a seventeen centuries old town.
CENTENER
The most favored area by the locals and tourists for its tranquility and closeness to the beach. Contrary to the Old Town there is plenty of space to park your car free of charge and drive your bike safely. The Old Town in only 20 minutes leisurely walk and the beach 10 minutes through a forest park Zlatni rt. There is well equipped food store and a number of good restaurants nearby.
LOCAL ACTIVITIES
This is the town of world regattas, international tennis tournaments, but it primarily belongs to recreation sportsmen and amatteurs, who play, run and swim just for the fun of it.
