Experience the beautiful town of Bale
The charming historic town of Bale is situated near the western coast of the Istrian peninsula, just moments from the Adriatic Sea. With its small population, it offers a rare sense of peace and tranquility, even during the vibrant summer months. Perched on a hill, once protected by fortress walls and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, this enchanting medieval town provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable Istrian getaway. Its narrow stone streets invite you to wander through history, where every house and hidden corner tells a story waiting to be discovered.
Discover Istria
Istria is a Croatian region abundant in history, fertile landscapes, and striking natural beauty — often referred to as the Croatian Tuscany, and rightly so. It captivates with its timeless charm, offering a soothing escape for all the senses in every season of the year. Whether you choose to explore central Istria, where Motovun is an essential stop on the way to Roč, Hum, and Kotli — villages steeped in history and character — or prefer the southern coast with its iconic city of Pula, the Roman amphitheater, and the pristine nature of Cape Kamenjak, Bale is the perfect starting point for discovering every corner of the Istrian peninsula. With a network of scenic cycling paths winding through forests and along historic railway lines, Istria is ideal for an active holiday — one of these trails passes directly through Bale. And if you have not packed yet, let the local cuisine convince you. Discover traditional taverns serving authentic Istrian flavors such as prosciutto, artisanal cheeses, slow-cooked beef with pljukanci pasta, all often enriched with truffles — the true culinary pride of Istria.
