Take a boat trip on the Red Island

Right on the coast of Rovinj, Crveni Otok ("Red Island") is a convenient and easy escape from the crowd with a boat leaving every hour of the port town. Crveni Otok actually consists of two islands in one, St. Andreas and Maskin. The largest of San Andrés was where Benedictine later reopened a church in the sixth century rebuilt by the Franciscans 900 years ago. After Napoleon's hunt, the island was practically built until the family left home Hutterotts Habsburg and surrounded by hundreds of plants and trees from around the world. The mausoleum of the family can also be visited. Most come here to get secluded beaches, but backdropped, from fragrant pine trees and clear water right around Rovinj. Despite this boat getting crowded it's easy to find your own for space, far from summer crowds.

Beside of course summer the best time to visit Rovinj is spring, autumn, early and late summer. Rovinj is romantic and pleasant at any time of the year.

There are a lot less people, the sea is still warm, the property prices are cheaper.
