Poreč is almost 2,000 years old and is set around a harbor protected from the sea by the small island of Saint Nicholas. The town’s population is around 20,000. It increases to around 100,000 during high season.
Its major landmark is the 6th century Euphrasian Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Ever since the 1970s, the coast of Poreč has been the most visited tourist destination in Croatia.
