Otok Katarina jedan od najljepših otoka rovinjskog arhipelaga. Nalazi se na svega nekoliko stotina metara od centra grada tako da je do njega lako doći taxi brodicama koje sa malog mola odnosno Delfina polaze otprilike svakih sat vremena.Na Otoku Katarina prevladava mediteranska makija i stara crnogorična šuma, a u blizini hotela uređeni su cvjetni parkovi i stazice. Na otoku se također nalazi kultivirani vinograd i pokoje staro stablo masline.Otok također ima zanimljivu prošlost. Naime, prema ostacima pronađenim 1886. godine bilo je to prvo naseljeno mjesto na području Rovinja u brončanom dobu. Do 1473. godine na otoku se nalazio ospicij za eremite koji su kasnije nastanili serviti iz Marijinog reda koji su ujedno izgradili samostan te obnovili crkvu sv. Katarine i podigli zvonik.Otok je 1779. godine došao u ruke obitelji Paulini, a sredinom 19. stoljeća kupio ga je Matteo Rismondo koji je uredio otok i izgradio dvorac.

We were from there a week ago. My niece took pictures of seagulls nesting and several batches taking care of their playful chicks. We sincerely enjoyed.

The steep rocky cliffs on some beaches lured me into cliff-jumping. Found out that the activity is popular and somehow safe. It was an adrenaline experience.

I could not get enough of volleyball, diving and windsurfing. Did not have enough time to try other interesting activities, but there are a dozen more. Next time though.

The private bays in the island are so serene with the cool air relaxing. Perfect sunlight for sunbathing. My lover and I enjoyed intimate moments with privacy guaranteed.

We were treated to a bus tour around the small island and saw many things. The cliffs were perfect for watching the golden sunset.
Nadine
Shopping for artefacts and unique pieces of jewelry in nearby towns was an acheived dream. I loved the malls and small equipped shops there
Dustin
Churches, parishes and basilicas have historical and religious documents in their archives. Architectural genius is visible in the old buildings that we saw.
