| Rovinj old town |
I have been coming to Rovinj every year for
the last 15 years, during shoulder seasons, for its relaxed seaside atmosphere.
Also for the nice cycling path along the coast right outside the town, able to step out
of the harbour in the centre for kayaking, and for the little market that
sells locally grown and foraged greens and fish stalls selling local caught fresh wild
seafood.

It has a small classic old town centre with
fishermen's cottages and some grand buildings. In recent years, on the outskirt
of the town a couple of 5 stars hotels were built, on new grounds or replacing outdated buildings. Both hotels are within easy walk from the centre,
both were done in subtle style, blending in well with the environment.

This latest one, Park Hotel, in front of a
marina, is amazing. Covered with glass, wood and lots of trees and shrubs, it
is not at all an eyesore at the seaside.

The terraced design ensured that every room has a small garden in front and the roof covered with plants.

The roof top bar offers a panoramic view of
the old town and the coast. The 3 restaurants serves grill, local and
international cuisines, dishes are well made and at very affordable prices.

This little town is a gem in my mind.
