Well worth seeing, the mosaics in the apse of the church alone justify the entrance fee of 40 kuna. If possible, make the climb up the tower for the finest view over Porec.

Nice city. It was 15min from our hotel. For those who don’t want to go there on foot, there is a noddy train for 50HRK (~6,80€). There are many restaurants, narrow streets with little souvenir shops and beautiful seaside with lighthouse view. There are many boats and yachts in the seaport. We were amazed.

Baredine Cave Protected morphological monument of nature Meet the mystical world of nature which has been developing for thousands of years, far away from the light of the day and the human eye. Visit the underworld the Baredine Cave. This cave is a treasure chest of stalagmites and stalactites, underworld sculptures created through time by the patient work of water. Visit The cave is geomorphological monument of nature since 1986, and it has been opened for visitors since 1995. The sightseeing lasts 40 minutes; visitors descend along a 300m long pathway up to 60m below the ground and an underground lake and visit five beautifully decorated chambers. The cave is well lit and equipped, the paths and stairways have firm railing, and the temperature is very pleasant at 14˚C. Next to the cave are a free parking lot (for cars and buses), a reception, a coffee-bar/buffet, speleo-gallery, souvenir shops, children play ground, and area with domesticated animals and a pick-nick area

What Jama might lack in size, it more than makes up for in two other areas. First off, you can see the vulnerable (per the IUCN) "human fish" or olm. This little creature is pretty incredible, and endemic to water, in caves, in only Croatia and parts of neighboring countries (Italy, Slovenia and Bosnia). Secondly, the guide we had was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about caves, caving, the human fish... I've been to many-a-cave in numerous countries, and our guide here was one of, if not the most, knowledgeable and informative. I definitely learned more than I was expecting to. Tickets are 75kn/adult, and our tour was about an hour (though our group asked him heaps of questions, so maybe the tour is usually a little shorter than that). Everything is kind of a ghost town--during winter and during The Covid--so now is definitely the time to go. (Just email or call a day ahead of time to set up a tour). Highly recommend for fans of caves and/or weird, cool species you can't see too many other places. Oh, one last note: to contradict what a reviewer a few down said about this cave not being for the faint of heart or those who are claustrophobic, I didn't think it was claustrophobic at all. Granted, I'm not prone to claustrophobia in the slightest, but I've definitely been in caves with smaller rooms and tighter passages, and I wouldn't think this would be too confining for others. There are a good number of stairs, but the guide will let you take your time walking up them.
8. Traktor Story

4.5 based on 83 reviews
In an area that served as an intersection for communication and roads ever since, besides the Baredine cave as a natural monument, you can also visit an ethno story devoted to agriculture. It shows various items, machines and numerous photographs and documents closely linked to the history of this area and its people. The story starts with a threshing floor, next to which there is an exhibition on wheat threshing and the invention and development of threshing machines. The exhibition continues with a permanent exhibition of about fifty historic tractors and various types of engines called ,,Tractor story". Particularly prominent is an old Fordson tractor from 1923, the first tractor in our village, as well as an old engine with a heated head, which was used to run a mill in Porec at the beginning of the last century. In the exclusive area of the Konobon Gallery you can learn more about the story of the Mediterranean trilogy - bread, wine and olive oil, all present in this are from the period of Antiquity, the medieval period until the present moment. Along with these exhibitions, the central part is an area, where various other exhibitions are presented and the wine cellar where guest can savour authentic products of this area.

Very well maintained and heartful place. Fascinating and a must-see for everybody who is interested in old and new farming equipment and the history of agriculture. There also was a really nice inside part that exemplified the region's history with wine-making.

This street runs parallel to Decumanus street and is much less busy and the cobbles are less bumpy! The entrance to the basilica is off this road and there are lots of shops and cafes.
