Henry Morgan was one of the greatest privateers of all time, who wreaked havoc especially in the Caribbean in the 17th century. Even a rum was named after the pirate captain with Welsh roots. To this day, there are numerous anecdotes surrounding him, each with varying levels of truth.

One of these stories is often told on the Croatian Adriatic. On the northern cliffs of the Limski Canal, where the sea pushes inland in a narrow gorge between Poreč and Rovinji, there are caves that were a popular hiding place for pirates in past centuries. A cave that was already a filming location for the Winnetou films and the Hollywood film "The Vikings" with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis and is therefore particularly exploited by tourists is said to have also served as a refuge for Henry Morgan.

The cave or pirate bar is freely accessible in the winter months. So pack a picnic and take a break there. Tables and benches are available and you can enjoy the view without the hustle and bustle and be on your own. The complex is beautifully laid out with lots of cacti and palm trees. Simply super beautiful!
