ROVINJ NATURIST GUIDE
Rovinj is an important centre on the Western
coast of Istrian region (cca. 15.000 inhabitants).
When you go up to the Old Town that is squeezed
on a narrow peninsula, when you walk through its
steep meandering lanes, cobbled squares and campiellis,
you enter the centuries past by. This ancient
settlement (3rd centuny) was first mentioned by,
Anonymous of Ravenna at the beginning of 8th century.
The Rovinj coastal area is very well articulated
with numerous bays, creeks, and capes. There are
places of great natural and ecological value:
forest park Punta Corente-Muntrav, St. Andrea's
archipelago, the Palud marsh, the Limski kanal
Fjord, and Monfiorenzo cave. Along the coast,
with a markedly Mediterranean flora and fauna,
a sup-Mediterranean climate with a moderate humidity
level prevails.
Interesting note: Jules Verne, the father
of science fiction, in search of unique places
for his novels, chose Rovinj as a setting for
some chapters of his novel "Mathias Sandorf".
