We used Rovinj as our base for exploring Istria, which worked beautifully. Tiny, lovely Bale is a few minutes drive away, and has a definite artistic feel to it, in addition to its history. Bale is a well-preserved ancient village, with a soothing ambience, and it makes a great stop if you are doing a day trip to busy, bustling Pula to see the Roman ruins. Stop in Bale on your way back to Rovinj, do some olive oil tasting, have a drink in the cafe, and admire the curious beauty of the small twisting streets that circle the church and bell tower. Bale would also make a good biking destination from Rovinj, since you take all back roads to get there.
Interesting note: Casanova ( the famous lover of women) frequented Bale, in order to visit a certain lady, and the tavern he frequented is still open for business, and offers live jazz.

Fantastic day out with a guide. 4 hours of SAPing and kayaking across several bays, picnic lunch of meats, cheeses and bread washed down with juices. Great fun and exercise. Photos say it all, sun, laughs and beers to finish.
5. Iglesia Del Espiritu Santo

This small church is located on the south edge of the old town just off Ulica San Zuian.
More than half the frescos are gone. What remains looks fairly amateurish with only a few colors mostly yellow, orange and red with bits of green and occasionally blue. still the scenes are easily recognizable.

After having tried San Tommaso Malvasija wine in restaurants in Rovinj we wanted to buy some to take home. We were met by a very friendly and serviceminded representantive who let us try all of the wines as well as looking at the small display in the house. We also had a quick look outside where apparentely some cattle was held for Tito as well as bread was baked during that time. We recommend this winery, but a good advise is to make a call first to make sure someone is there to receive you.
7. Dodo Bar

Re-opening of Dodo Bar in 2017 is probably one of the best local things. This is a little "strange" bar, but we all love it. Great music, cold beer, far away from others and excellent environment definitively sets Dodo Bar among best San Polo attractions.

St Elizabeth's is the largest of the 3 churches in Bale's old town. No set hours so not sure when you can get in. There's a crypt in the back with a plaque but again no hours.

Marko de eigenaar is een vriendelijke man die Engels, Duits en Italiaans spreek. Marko organiseert 2 keer per dag bootduiken met zijn snelle boot voor 12 personen naar eilanden, riffen en geweldig mooie wrakken. Als je een diep en Nitrox brevet hebt is dit een waar eldorado. Binnen een uur varen heb je de wrakken van o.a. de Baron Gautsch, Giuseppe Dezza, Hans Schmidt, Varese, John Gilmore, Maona, enz.
Ook kan je naar Brijuni Nationaal Park om te duiken. Hier zitten o.a. grote baarzen die je elders in Istrie niet snel zo groot ziet.
Ook maakt Marko met regelmaat een nachtduik voor de liefhebbers.
Onderweg naar een wrak kwamen we dolfijnen tegen Marko legde de boot stil zodat we een tijd konden genieten van de dolfijnen.
Een klein naar prettig duikcentrum waar je persoonlijk wordt benadert.
