Today we include a leisurely trip to lovely Opatija, nestled along the banks of the Adriatic Sea.
Spend time exploring the town at your leisure. Perhaps work up an appetite strolling along Opatija's promenade, the Lungomare, and enjoy a leisurely al fresco lunch. Much of the promenade’s length is shaded by chestnut and laurel trees, and there are handily placed benches which invite you to sit and admire the view of the islands of Cres and Krk looming in the shimmering blue of Kvarner Bay.
Enjoy an optional excursion to the picturesque resort of Porec. Porec’s richness is measured by its historical heritage, which has been deeply rooted in this area for thousands of years.
The old town of Porec is a monument of culture and has preserved the structure of the old Roman castrum. The main streets are still preserved in their original forms. See the 6th century Basilica and the old Roman ruins and explore the quaint old cobbled town at your leisure.

Enjoy free time ambling around the narrow streets of the lovely Old Town, regarded as one of the most photographed on the Croatian coast.

You can also see Hercules' Gate and Twin Gates, the Temple of Augustus and of course, the magnificent Amphitheatre. This arena was built in the 1st century AD, during the rule of Emperor Vespasian.
Today we visit picture postcard Piran on the Adriatic coast. The town is known for its medieval architecture and narrow, compact streets.
This afternoon we travel to Umag, where you will have free time to explore the Old Town or relax in one of the many local restaurants and bars along the pretty coastline.
