DESTINATION: Rovinj

Rovinj is one of the most developed seaside resorts in Croatia, offering a whole range of visitor opportunities in a picturesque ambience of the ancient town, surrounded by luxuriant pine forests (the cape of Zlatni Rt is designated as a park forest, while the coast and islands of Rovinj are set aside as a protected landscape). The beginning of tourism was marked by the introduction of a steamship line between Rovinj and Trieste (1845) and the construction of the railroad to Vienna (1876). In 1896 the town had a well-maintained public beach, Val di Lone, and several boarding houses (Alla citta di Trieste, Al Miramar, Alla porta antica and Al vecchio albergo).

Martinje Festival

Young wine celebration throughout Croatia – November 11

Every year on November 11 - the St. Martin’s Day (patron saint of winemakers), many wine-producing regions in Croatia celebrate and enjoy the newly produced wine. As a tradition, grapes are blessed before they are made into wine. Every town celebrates in its own way, but they all have one thing in common: there is always plenty of good food, music, dance and delicious, young wine. Roasted goose with chestnuts and pumpkins, apple pies and poppy-seed rolls are some of the favorites with white and red wines that are offered in abundance. One of the more popular wine areas is around Zagreb, where many little towns produce their wine as well as brandy. Dugo Selo, a picturesque town close to Zagreb, has a long tradition in grape cultivation and wine production. Everything is done in old-fashioned way and celebration of Martinje lasts several days.
