Things to do in Lanterna

Spend some time soaking up the sun at Portorož Beach, a sandy stretch of coastline with a large and clean swimming area. It has a few piers that offer views of the picturesque coast. It is one of the few natural beaches in the region and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

Rovinj Harbour forms the heart of the beautiful town of Rovinj. Around the little harbor, where tiny colored fishing boats bob gently, cobbled lanes are lined by Venetian-era houses. Soak up the tranquil atmosphere, admire the Old Town buildings and linger over a dinner of fresh seafood as you watch the sun set over the Adriatic Sea.

Sveta Katarina is a lush and picturesque island off the coast of Rovinj. Covered in pine forests, it is mostly undeveloped and unspoiled, with just one hotel built here. Find hidden bays for swimming, trek along isolated paths and admire gorgeous views of Rovinj’s old town across the water.

Izola Marina has been the heart of the historic town since its early days as a Roman port. The marina is one of the country’s largest and its long breakwater creates a sheltered and serene environment for taking in the sights.

Crveni Otok is comprised of two artificially connected islands in the Adriatic Sea. Popular destinations for daytrips, these car-free islets are covered in pines and Mediterranean scrub and are also home to several stony beaches and rocky coves. Leave civilization behind and spend a few hours relaxing on quiet, remote shores.
