Things to Do  

Explore back alleys

Explore back alleys, Vrsar

 egonwegh Says:  That's me exploring the back alleys of the town of Vrsar, 25 May 2012. There's so much to discover here as no two houses are the same and there's an astonishing variety in round arches, bay windows, lintels and every kind of masonry work. 

Scuba Diving

Scuba Diving, Vrsar

 camelweed Says:  We offer dive sites for beginners and more experienced divers. The catalogue of our dive sites consists of 8 wrecks sunk during the World Wars, and 20 other dive sites with reefs, steep walls, caves and caverns places. Exciting shore and night dives are possible in our Porto... 

Streets, squares, gates

Streets, squares, gates, Vrsar

 Tanechka Says:  Tremendous landscapes, magnificent hotel infrastructure involve tourists who first of all want to take pleasure in silence, beauty and rest among medieval architecture and the unique nature of Adriatic coast. 

Church of St Martin

Church of St Martin, Vrsar

 dustmon Says:  Try to visit this church on Sunday---they have a beautiful service in the morning---when I visited they had some singers and an organ player---I did not climb the tower but the views are probably fine of the harbour below. There is also a small cafe right in front where you... 

St Anton Church

St Anton Church, Vrsar

 dustmon Says:  This old Church in Vrsar is almost to the top of the hill, and shares a square with the main Tourist office, one of the old gates to the city, and a wonderful place called Ladonja, where you can get a beer, soda or coffee and sit in the middle of the square and rest after... 

Sveti Fosca

Sveti Fosca, Vrsar

 dustmon Says:  This small church in Vrsar, Croatia has an amazing (but kind of grotesque!) painting of St Fosca being beheaded by a Roman soldier, at the far end of the church. Other jewelry pieces and crosses are also displayed inside.

I had 3 wonderful meals (midday) at Trost, right on the main harbour of Vrsar with views galore! Some of what I had included fresh grilled clams, fresh oysters (some of the best I have ever had!) as well as salads and good local beer. The breeze and the views are hard to beat!

Favorite Dish: Incredibly fresh raw oysters from the bay and local beer!

There is a small "Tourist Train" of about 4 cars (like a Kiddie train) that can take you to the top of the hill, for those who cannot make it on their own. It has a small cost, but the walk can be very stressing for some with handicaps. They pick up at the harbour parking lot and also at some stops along the way to the top.

Dvigrad: a town from the past, Vrsar

 Moonchild83 Says:  "Only a few kilometers west of Kanfanara the remains of the mediaeval town of Dvigrad are located, which still dominates in the Lim Draga."more infos: http://www.inforovinj.com/eng/rovinj/dvigrad.asp 

Pilgrin

Pilgrin, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  This is the only wooden statue among those that are scattered in Vrsar. It looks as a kind of pilgrim or a traveler, holding a tambourine in his right hand. Unfortunately, I could not take a good picture as it was in the shade and a car was parked that I could not avoid. 

Menhir in Vrsar ?

Menhir in Vrsar ?, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  Isn't it looking like a small menhir (I mean one of these standing stone found especially but not only in the Celtic countries) ? Actually, I would not be surprised if the artist wanted to make a kind of replica of the campanile that tops the town. 

Black stone

Black stone, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  Look at what you will might be looking after too much tanning in the sun ! The body would partly melt and distort. The material that was in the head and in the arms has trickled and gathered into the bum and the legs !! Haha !! Actually, this black stone statue is very... 

Sports & Outdoors  

For young drivers

For young drivers, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  Here, driving does not require any driving license but it is only for the grown-ups. I mean for the grown-up kids, four-five years old ! If some of them don't drive correctly, there is someone that will bring them back into the main stream ! 

For the little ones

For the little ones, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  This inflatable facility is only for the little ones. They can slide from the top without any hazards. Even those who can hardly walk cannot do themselves any harm. It is completely safe. The only problem is that as soon as they have slipped down, they climb on top to do it... 

Elastic

Elastic, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  Here is another activity based on the elasticity of strings. It has certainly a name, which I do not know. It is very popular among teenagers that enjoy these easy giant jumps that are done with very little effort ! 

Trampoline

Trampoline, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  Several trampoline facilities are open to the visitors on the large space at the bottom of the quays. This picture was taken at night. Due to the poor light, it was taken at low speed, which gave this amazing effect of ''scratch''. 

Favorites  

Fishing

Fishing, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  In late evening, fishing boats, which were anchored in the southern part of the harbor, outside the marina (the marina is on the right of the picture), sail for a night fishing. They will come back early, tomorrow morning, hopefully with a good load of fish ! 

Marina, next pier

Marina, next pier, Vrsar

 JLBG Says:  On the contrary, on the outer pier, only sail boats are moored. They are my favorites but unfortunately, the pier is not allowed for those who only want to admire the boats. Now, it is how are all new marinas ! Too bad !
