Crveni Otok, or Red Island, is a tranquil escape just off the coast of Rovinj. The island is covered in fragrant pine forests, with several small pebble beaches perfect for swimming and sunbathing. A former 15th-century Franciscan monastery now operates as a hotel, adding historical charm. Visitors can explore the island's walking trails, relax on the beaches, or enjoy panoramic views of the Adriatic. Accessible by frequent boat from Rovinj's old town, it's a popular day-trip destination for nature lovers.
