Bale is a very pleasant inland-western Istria destination when you want a smaller place with a coherent stone centre and a slower rhythm.

The settlement feels orderly and understated, which is exactly what gives it much of its charm. Its lanes, squares and stone houses create a compact image that works very well for a relaxed walk and a shorter cultural stop.
It fits naturally into a route between Rovinj, Vodnjan and central Istria.
