Na samo desetak kilometara Poreča, u neposrednoj blizini veličanstvenog Limskog fjorda u Istri, na brdu se smjestilo maleno mjestašce Vrsar čiji naziv seže daleko u prošlost.Naime, drevni mediteranski pomorci su, ploveći uz zapadnu obalu Istre, uzimali pitku vodu s izvora na obali između Funtane i Vrsara, te je tako nastao naziv Ursaria. U srednjem vijeku, kada su Slaveni počeli naseljavati teritorij, promijenili su izvorno ime na svoj način i dobijeno je moderno ime grada koje se koristi i danas- Vrsar.Pošto njegov pogled seže sve do obale, logično je bilo da se Vrsar podigne u obliku tvrđave sa velikim obrambenim zidinama. Danas su očuvani samo dijelovi ovog čvrstog fortifikacijskog sustava izgrađenog u 12. stoljeću, ali svejedno, ovu tvrđavu-dvorac morate posjetiti. Najpoznatiji talijanski ljubavnik, Cassanova, posjetio je Vrsar čak dva puta a svoje doživljaje i provod zabilježio u svojim neprocjenjivim memoarima.

Rosamund
It is a beautiful old town on a hill, very close to Porec. We were in it after visiting Dinopark. We took a pleasant walk, took many beautiful photos. There is a small market on the waterfront where we bought some pretty things.
Armin
Vrsar itself is not as beautiful as neighboring Porec, many houses need painting. There are not so many beautiful elements on the houses, but the beautiful views of the sea and the Marina, of course, make this walk very colorful
Tihana
excellent Marina, many restaurants, possibly go for a walk in the old town
Matea
we arrived in Vrsar after Dinopark, we had a very tasty meal at one of the restaurants on the shore, and had a good walk around the old town
Luka
I like this place, the sea, the sun, the old stone town with a large church in the center, this is really Croatia for me
Simona
this town is really beautiful, with stunning sea views, everything you need for a beach holiday, and there is a place to walk in the evening. There are not as many people as in neighboring Porec, so I highly recommend staying there for a vacation with your family.

Vsar has lots of rock sculptures. I took a little walk staring at their beauty. Will come back soon.
