During the tour, you will come to visit numerous monuments of Roman architecture: The Triumphal Arch of the Sergii from the 1st century B.C., Hercules' Gate and Twin Gates, the Temple of Augustus, the Arena and the Small Roman Theatre in the town center.Historical attractions aside, Pula is a busy commercial city on the sea that has managed to retain a friendly small-town appeal. Although marred with residential and holiday developments, the coast is dotted with fragrant pine groves, seaside cafes and a clutch of good restaurants. A unique experience will come with the moments of relaxation in the main town square, which has managed to retain its role as the meeting place since the Augustan Age of the 18th century.Rovinj, located on the west coast of Istria, is one of the most popular and developed tourist resort cities in Croatia. The old town was constructed on an island and later connected with the mainland in the 18th century. Known as one of the most picturesque and romantic cities on the Mediterranean, many repeat visitors' journey to Rovinj each year to continue to explore one of the 22 islands, or to retrace their steps around old town's cobbled and narrowed streets.

Walking down its streets, you'll pass many art galleries and studios. Each August, you can attend the largest open-air exhibition on the Adriatic coast, taking place on the main old-town streets - Grisia.It is almost impossible to list all Rovinj's attractions for you to visit in just one trip; therefore, the need for repeat visits.Please Note: All guests are required to bring their passports with them as they will be crossing the Croatian/Slovenian border during this tour.
