Itinerary description:

Lim Bay, Kanfanar, Dvigrad, Sveti Lovreč, Poreč and Funtana. The Heritage Treasury trail starts and ends in front of the Vrsar’s Pineta hotel and offers everything: from the natural beauties of Lim Bay to the turbulent history of Dvigrad as well as the varied offer of Poreč, a little town full of historical and cultural heritage.The jewel in its extraordinary heritage is represented by the Euphrasian Basilica, an outstanding sample of early Byzantine art from the 6th century, now protected under the auspices of UNESCO. This is why the itinerary leads you through the centre of this two thousand year old Mediterranean town, which offers a number of reasons to take a break and enjoy the historical heritage.
