Cycling day trip from Rovinj to Poreč

Set off from Rovinj, a charming coastal town known for its beautiful old town, colorful houses, and lively harbor—don’t miss the views from the Church of St. Euphemia before you get rolling! This route to Poreč covers just under 39 km, weaving you through a mix of quiet roads, gravel tracks, and the occasional bustling stretch. You’ll pedal through classic Istrian countryside, with vineyard views, olive groves, and the scent of the sea never too far away.

There’s a good bit of up and down—nearly 500 meters of climbing and descending—but nothing too extreme, and you’ll max out at 174 meters above sea level. Surfaces vary, so a gravel or trekking bike will keep things comfortable. When you reach Poreč, you’ll find another historic gem, famous for the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica and its Roman heritage. Treat yourself to a gelato on the waterfront as a perfect end to your ride!
