Vrsar is a small coastal town in Istria, Croatia. It sits on a hill above the sea and offers beautiful views of the offshore islands. The old town with its narrow streets and the harbor invite you to stop for a short break. The surrounding area offers many cycling and hiking trails through vineyards, forests, and along the coast.
