Cycling day trip from Rovinj to Fažana

This scenic cycling route takes you from the charming coastal town of Rovinj to the laid-back village of Fažana. Starting in Rovinj, known for its colorful Venetian old town and the iconic St. Euphemia’s Church, you’ll cruise south through the rolling Istrian countryside. Expect a mix of surfaces—about half of your ride is on smooth pavement and asphalt, while a fair chunk dips onto gravel tracks and quiet country roads.

With around 33 km to cover, you'll wind through olive groves, pine woods, and maybe even catch some sea views here and there. There are a few moderate hills (topping out at 83 meters), but nothing too tough. As you reach Fažana, treat yourself to a gelato by the harbor. This cozy fishing village is famous as the gateway to the Brijuni Islands National Park—so if you have time, hop on a boat for even more adventure!

Overall, this route is a perfect blend of seaside charm and Istrian countryside, making for a rewarding half-day trip.
