Privado-Flavours of Istria (sightseeing bala, Rovinj & Grožnjan )

Información

The charm and beauty of Bale, its adorable alleys, the scent of the sea intermingled with that of the traditional in Mediterranean flora or just a positive vibe that reigns over this whole place, all these things are there to be experienced. Bale is a small picturesque town dating from the Roman period boasts a high number of points of interest. The main sight in the preserved old town core is the Sorado –Bembo palace with its recently renovated facade. It is arguably one of the most beautiful old structures in Bale. One should by no means underestimate the beauty of the Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Homage to Saint Elisabeth.

After visiting Bale we continue towards Rovinj, one of the most 'photogenic' towns in the Mediterranean, once a fishing town, today known as "little Venice". Feel the enchantment of its narrow medieval streets and warm Mediterranean setting. The main Church of St. Euphemia, located on a hill in the middle of the old town keeps relics of the saint and presents one of the most beautiful Baroque achievements in Istria. You can enjoy is a wonderful view of the open sea and numerous islets in the distance.

After the history comes something more relaxing. We'll take you to an agro tourism where you will be welcomed by the host with an istrian grappa and you will taste and enjoy the tipycal istrian dishes with homemade bread and wine.

Then we drive forward to Grožnjan. You’ll check out the amazing ‘village in the clouds’ – a hilltop town that stands in a candy-floss swirl of white. Admire the sun-dappled olive groves that make this place seem more Tuscan than Croatian. Grožnjan is a town of artists, with numerous art galleries offering original souvenirs made from various materials. After a relaxing stroll there, we will take you back to your accommodation
