Hi!

In september is still quite warm but not hot anymore. It could be between 23-28°C, it depends.

Porec is very small, but charming, so you can explore it in a day or two. Definitely you shouldn%26#39;t miss Euphrasian Basilica, one of the oldest churches in the area, dating from the 6th century. Sometimes are concerts held in the Basilica. You should also explore Istria, known as small Tuscany. If you don%26#39;t have a car you can book a trip in some travel agency.

For example, worth visiting is Motovun, the smallest town in the world, on top of a hill in central Istria, town Rovinj on a peninsula close to Porec with old stone houses surrounding the peninsula, or villages in central Istria like Vodnjan or Groznjan where different art workshops are held in the summer, maybe you catch some exibition or concert.

If you have time, you can go a little bit further to Pula and visit the Roman colosseum Arena or the national park called Brijuni, a group of small islands in front of the town, with some Roman ruins and safari park.

There are some interesting nature resorts, so in a travel agency they can tell you everything you want to know.

thanks you very much for this information

Apple, just a correction- Hum is the littlest town in the world and not Motovun.

Minimod, do follow the suggestions of Apple, that is more than enough for a week.
