Vrsar (Italian and Venetian: Orsera) is a small seaside town and a municipality in Istria, Croatia located 9 kilometers south of Poreč.[5][6] The historical center is located on top of a hill, including the St. Martin parish church and the 40-meter high bell tower. In the 20th century, the town expanded down the hill, into the surrounding area.[7] It is a popular summer destination with large campsites, private accommodation units and a modern marina.[8] It is the home of the large Koversada Naturist Campsite, the oldest in Istria.
