rovinj is listed among the most beautiful

“Rovinj, located on a small peninsula with a church on a hill, is the perfect place for a seaside holiday. With a fishing port full of restaurants, modern hotels and various water sports facilities, it offers an unforgettable experience.

Explore the island of Sveti Andrija, dive to the wreck of Baron Gautsch, cycle through Zlatni Rt or enjoy a dinner by the sea,” writes the Telegraph.

Along with Rovinj, the Telegraph included Collioure in France, Cefalù in Italy, Comporta in Portugal, Llafranc in Spain, Sitia in Crete, Cap Ferrat in France, Camogli in Italy, Çıralı in Turkey, San Vicente de la Barquera in Spain and Nafplio in Greece among the most beautiful coastal places in Europe.

the telegraph says the ugliest coastal croatian town is Ploče

Despite the admiration for the truly beautiful Istrian town of Rovinj, according to the Telegraph, Ploče has taken a place among the most unattractive coastal destinations in all of Europe.

“Located about halfway between Dubrovnik and Split, on the spectacular but tiring coastal road, Ploče could easily lead you to think it’s a reasonable place to stop. In reality, it’s a derelict port with a petrochemical terminal and grain silos, located at the mouth of the Neretva River. Ploče has a railway line to Sarajevo (nowadays it only operates in the summer, offering a scenic route along the Neretva Valley into Bosnia), and there’s also a useful Jadrolinija ferry service to Trpanj on the Pelješac peninsula. But it isn’t a place you’d want to stay,” the paper wrote.
