the Church of St. Euphemia, as well as the island of St. Katarina. It was in 1963 that Rovinj was declared a monument of culture. Known as the city of love and romance; a city of artists, who especially love it in the Summer when its streets turn into open art galleries, and it boasts several striking palaces from the Renaissance period for those interested in baroque architecture. Rovinj is also known for its ‘batanas’, typical flat bottom vessels, which are recognised and protected by UNESCO. With its appearance, position and content, ACI marina Rovinj has long been at the top of Mediterranean nautical destinations for the leisure
sailing community, but in 2019 an all-encompassing reconstruction of the marina was carried out to create a modern marina of superior design with the latest technological solutions and with services of the highest standards in global nautical tourism. When approaching Rovinj, sailors can recognise the marina by its position near the bell tower of the church of St. Euphemia, which stands on a hill in the middle of the peninsular. Access is gained between St. Katarina Island and the town harbour’s breakwater marked by a lighthouse. After registering at the marina’s reception desk, which provides a
currency exchange, boat-owners can eat at its restaurant, restock their galley at an on-site grocery store – an ATM is available – or wind down in the Wellness Centre. Electricity and water pedestals are installed on the pontoons and there is free wi-fi. Top quality toilets, showers and a laundry are available, and there are also toilet facilities provided for those with special needs. There is maintenance and repair shop at ACI Marina Rohinj and a fuel station is located at a distance of just 0.5 nautical miles. ACI Marina Rovinj aci@aci-club.hr www.aci-marinas.com
