Monkodonja Archaeological Site and Rovinj Highlights

Meet your Croatian tour guide in Rovinj and head to Monkodonja. This archaeological site is situated on a hill 200 m above sea level, from which a spectacular view of the Rovinj archipelago will inspire you to capture lasting memories in pictures. The guided visit in Monkodonja lasts around 30 minutes, followed by some free time for a photo session and a relaxing moment to breathe in the calm and energizing vibration found there.
See the best of Rovinj, one of the Adriatic pearls, for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Stroll through the lower part of the town centre and climb uphill to the parish church of Saint Eufemia, where the curious old sarcophagus is kept. The view from the church plateau is amazing, and you will be able to admire the green area around Rovinj and some of its islands.
After this half-day tour, you can grab a sandwich and continue on your own to the nature park of Zlatni Rt, or sit in one of the charming restaurants and have lunch while watching the sea.
