Lim Channel (Limski kanal)
Limski kanal
A karst fjord about 10 km long, with forested cliffs on both sides. It is known for farmed oysters and mussels and for legends of pirate caves.
The Lim Channel is a karst river valley flooded by the sea, only a few hundred meters wide, with evergreen forest covering its steep slopes. It is a protected landscape. Oysters and mussels farmed in the water are a signature Istrian dish, and seafood restaurants at the head of the channel serve them fresh. On the northern shore are caves said to have been used by pirates to hide their treasure. Boat tours from Rovinj, Vrsar or Poreč take about half a day and often include the pirate caves and lunch. You can also drive to the viewpoint at the head of the channel.
