Istrian 'Old Town' to become a travel must
20 February 2008
Istria's coastal city of Rovinj will eventually become an "inevitable stop" for anyone exploring the Mediterranean coast, it has been claimed.
Tourism specialist Kristian Sustar noted the boom enveloping the market for Croatian villas, as well as the region's rental market.
Mr Sustar explained that the company of which he is director, Maistra, has decided to respond to the growth by initiating plans for a multi-million euro hotel investment in the vicinity of Rovinj.
The two five-star properties will form part of the Monte Mulini resort complex, according to TravelMole.
So-called 'Old Town' Rovinj is known for its narrow lanes and brightly-painted houses, with the Rovinj Heritage Museum's extensive collection of artefacts testifying to the city's rich archaeological, artistic and maritime history.
Furthermore, science-fiction supremo Jules Verne chose the Istrian jewel as the setting for various chapters of his novel, Mathias Sandorf.
Some of Istria's gastronomic delights consistently lauded by inhabitants of Croatian villas include the region's famous smoked ham, sheep-milk cheese and sweets such as krostule, fritule and povetica.
