Croatia holidays: Street Art Festival comes to Porec

Travellers planning Croatia holidays this summer can enjoy some exciting entertainment at the Porec Street Art Festival.

The free event will take place in the streets and squares of the old part of the western coastal town from August 5th to 7th.

"We'll animate the ancient town of Porec, thrill its spirits and bring laughter and fun to passers-by inhabitants and tourists alike," said the festival's organisers.

Street art will come in the form of acrobatics, comedy acts, visual art projects, live music and stage performances, and acts will hail from around the world.

Porec is also a great place to explore during Croatia tours. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is set around a harbour and is almost 2,000 years old.

The main tourist sights include the town's beautifully preserved Romanesque houses, its Venetian and Gothic palaces and its impressive Euphrasian Basilica, which was rebuilt in the 6th century under theByzantine Empire.
