Well worth seeing, the mosaics in the apse of the church alone justify the entrance fee of 40 kuna. If possible, make the climb up the tower for the finest view over Porec.

Nice city. It was 15min from our hotel. For those who don’t want to go there on foot, there is a noddy train for 50HRK (~6,80€). There are many restaurants, narrow streets with little souvenir shops and beautiful seaside with lighthouse view. There are many boats and yachts in the seaport. We were amazed.

Baredine Cave Protected morphological monument of nature Meet the mystical world of nature which has been developing for thousands of years, far away from the light of the day and the human eye. Visit the underworld the Baredine Cave. This cave is a treasure chest of stalagmites and stalactites, underworld sculptures created through time by the patient work of water. Visit The cave is geomorphological monument of nature since 1986, and it has been opened for visitors since 1995. The sightseeing lasts 40 minutes; visitors descend along a 300m long pathway up to 60m below the ground and an underground lake and visit five beautifully decorated chambers. The cave is well lit and equipped, the paths and stairways have firm railing, and the temperature is very pleasant at 14˚C. Next to the cave are a free parking lot (for cars and buses), a reception, a coffee-bar/buffet, speleo-gallery, souvenir shops, children play ground, and area with domesticated animals and a pick-nick area

What Jama might lack in size, it more than makes up for in two other areas. First off, you can see the vulnerable (per the IUCN) "human fish" or olm. This little creature is pretty incredible, and endemic to water, in caves, in only Croatia and parts of neighboring countries (Italy, Slovenia and Bosnia). Secondly, the guide we had was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about caves, caving, the human fish... I've been to many-a-cave in numerous countries, and our guide here was one of, if not the most, knowledgeable and informative. I definitely learned more than I was expecting to. Tickets are 75kn/adult, and our tour was about an hour (though our group asked him heaps of questions, so maybe the tour is usually a little shorter than that). Everything is kind of a ghost town--during winter and during The Covid--so now is definitely the time to go. (Just email or call a day ahead of time to set up a tour). Highly recommend for fans of caves and/or weird, cool species you can't see too many other places. Oh, one last note: to contradict what a reviewer a few down said about this cave not being for the faint of heart or those who are claustrophobic, I didn't think it was claustrophobic at all. Granted, I'm not prone to claustrophobia in the slightest, but I've definitely been in caves with smaller rooms and tighter passages, and I wouldn't think this would be too confining for others. There are a good number of stairs, but the guide will let you take your time walking up them.

MOTODROM Porec provides exciting and safe entertainment. Our karting track is one of the best in Croatia. The options are: single kart with a 9,13 or 17 hp, two-seater and Bambini karts for kids from 6-12 years to be used on a separate kids track. For those who are looking for other adrenaline activities we have various off-road tracks for Kart-cross & Quad and also a big paintball area and an very interesting adrenaline park.

There is loads to do here, karting (off road or track), ATV tours or track, Paintballing and more. We did a quick 10min racing on the main karting track and really enjoyed it. They have a variety of karts with different speeds and sizes so is good fun for everyone. We have done karting before at a few places and the fast karts here are very good. It would be good if there was a package/discount if you wanted to do two or more rounds, rather than paying full price for each 10mins. Would definitely come back if in Porec again though!

Incredibly amazing adventure park with such a professional staff! I was here with colleagues from work and we planned to stay for three hours, but we stayed all day long. Adventure park itself is amazing with great amenities and kind and professional staff. We tried all levels; I have to stress out that the highest level was rather hard - you really have to be in good shape. We also did paintball that was well and professionally conducted. I recommended this place to all of my friends and plan to go back again. Also, we had a lunch there - barbecue that was perfect. Whole experience and professional and kind staff are def reason to visit this place.

from the main square walk up " Decumanus Street " , the street is so clean, there are many stores and cafe's & restaurants....if you get lost ask a local, they speak English and really want to assist you, walk to the end and you will reach the left over from the Roman Ruins called " Trg Marafor "... I enjoyed looking at them and take pictures, would love to share them with you, but there is no link to do so..

This is the best waterpark I've been to, and I'm comparing it to those in Qatar, Lanzarote and the UK. 13 amazing rides for the adventurous, and cafes and a lazy river for relaxing. Plus a wave generator and plenty of stuff for children. The facilities are awesome and clean. I really recommend this place !
