Vrsar Travel Guide: 77 reviews and 131 photos

Vrsar, Orsera in Istro-romanian dialect and in Italian, was the residence of the bishops of Porec. The small fishermens' village is now a major tourists center. The harbour has recently extended to a modern marina. Though, the old city (stari grad), on the hill has kept it's character.

The quay that links the old harbour to the marina is decorated with flower beds and art works.

The outstanding marina receives in Summer many sailing boats and motor boats.

The artist?my guess:Vándor means in Hungarian "traveller". & Csurgó is a city or rather a village in Hungary. i think it could refer to this, because the 2 words are linked like this: Csurgó - Vrsar. thanx for the useful informations & pictures!
