Vrsar is a fabulous place for yacht owners or people generally enjoying the finer things in life. The city of Porec is just a ten minutes' drive away. The old amphitheatre of Pula, where stars as Pavarotti performed, is reachable at a distance of 50 km. From Vrsar a ferry goes every day within 2 ½ hours to Venice.
