On this excursion to Bale, Rovinj, and Porec, we'll tour the main points of the Istrian peninsula. We'll see picturesque villages and learn about their history, culture, and gastronomy!
Bale, Rovinj, and Porec Tour
At 8:15 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel to start touring the most emblematic places of the Istrian peninsula, an area of Croatia that shares many similarities with neighboring Italy.
We'll travel by bus through landscapes of olive groves and vineyards and up a hill until we reach the village of Bale, which will captivate you with its medieval buildings and cobblestone streets. You'll feel like you've traveled back to the Middle Ages!
After exploring this town on foot, we'll head to Rovinj, a city nestled on an islet that seems to be taken from a fairy tale. Once there, we'll stroll among its colorful houses and picturesque squares and learn about its culture and history. Did you know that it's also called Little Venice?
Then, we'll leave Rovinj behind and stop in Grzini, where we'll enjoy a traditional Istrian lunch! After lunch, we'll arrive in Porec, a coastal jewel where we'll find beautiful beaches, a pleasant promenade, and the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica, which houses some spectacular mosaics.
Finally, we'll say goodbye to the Istrian peninsula and return to your hotel, where we'll arrive 8 hours after the start of the tour.
