History, gastronomy, spas, towns on hilltops and on the coast -- all that, and a great value. I'd say it sounds too good to be true -- but I was with you, and experienced it all.

I'd also add a short visit to Porec. A small coastal town about 40minutes north of Rovinj. There may not be tons to do there but the scenery is beautiful, the walks through both the old town and the nearby park are relaxing and the Pizza at "Dali" is delicious! Around 25 kuna will get you there from Rovinj. Great summary of Istria Karen!! I’d also add a short visit to Porec. A small coastal town about 40minutes north of Rovinj.
