Croatia’s rugged coastline offers a myriad of small marinas and coves where boating enthusiasts can find a place to dock and relax: Marina Červar Porat (Porto Cervera Marina) is one of them. Located in the resort village of Červar-Porat (Porto Cervera), 6 km north of the town of Poreč (Parenzo), Marina Červar Porat stretches along the southeastern part of the Červar inlet, nestled in a sea that reflects the green of the lush vegetation—olive groves and coniferous forests—surrounding Červar Porat.
The beach at Červar-Porat is 1.5 kilometers long and lies approximately 500 meters from the town center. Although sheltered from the wind, the Marina Červar Porat remains open year-round, even though it is often subject to gusts of the Mistral and Tramontana winds. In addition to in-water berths, it offers 50 dry berths for yachts ranging from 3 to 13 meters in length.
Červar Porat is a tourist center suitable for different types of tourists: families, young people and lovers of sports and nature.
What is Červar-Porat ‘s welcome for its tourists?In addition to a beautiful marina equipped for nautical enthusiasts, there is no shortage of restaurants, taverns, and places to enjoy Istrian specialties.
Tourist Information: Poreč (Parenzo) is the main tourist destination and can be reached via bike paths that start right from the Červar-Porat marina. Among the region’s culinary specialties are Istrian prosciutto, sausages, olives, asparagus, pasta, fritters, and the famous, high-quality Istrian wines.
Poreč is a small town that offers culture and entertainment to its tourists, in addition to Croatia’s clean beaches, dotted with coves and numerous islands along the western coast of Istria.
The largest of the islands off Poreč is St. Nikola, where you can visit the historic Round Tower: built in 1402, it remains one of the oldest lighthouses in the Adriatic Sea. Among the natural wonders is the Lim Channel, which extends inland like a fjord for about 12 km and is considered one of the most beautiful natural features of the Istrian Peninsula.
In the historic center of Poreč , signs of Roman urban architecture can be seen: the street layout retains the rectangular structure typical of the Roman castrum, although the city’s best-known monument remains the Euphrasian Basilica, included among the aristic heritage of humanity by UNESCO.
If you visit Poreč in late April or early May you might attend the Vinistra International Wine and Wine Equipment Exhibition.
Nearby nautical centers include Pula, Rovinj, Novigrad, Umag, and Vrsar.
