Red Island (Crveni otok)
Crveni otok
A small holiday island group made up of St. Andrew Island and Mišnjak Island, with pine forests, a monastery and quiet beaches, about 15 minutes by boat.
Red Island is the largest island group off Rovinj. Its main island, St. Andrew Island, has the ruins of a Franciscan monastery founded in the 6th century and the Hütterott family castle, now a hotel. Mišnjak Island, connected to it by a causeway, retains its natural landscape, with several pebble bays and a naturist beach. The ferry from Rovinj harbor takes about 15 minutes, with roughly one departure per hour in peak season. A round trip costs from a few euros to over ten euros. Food options on the island are limited, so bring your own water.
