Top Things to Do in Bale, Croatia, Bale, Croatia (B)

Our nine-day tour with Mt. Travel Sobek began this morning at 9am. We met our wonderful guides, Stasa who speaks five languages and loves to travel and Domen who holds an MA in Ethnology and Cultural anthropology and is also an adventurer.

Our group included two sets of friends (including me and Page), four couples and representative from Mt. Travel Sobek’s California office. Four of the group were meeting us later due to flight delays and other plans. As such, nine of us loaded into our two vans with our guides who drove us three hours in the rain past agricultural fields and through mountains to Bale in Istria, Croatia. Istria, located in the northwest corner of Croatia is known for its olive oil, wine and truffles. We are looking forward to our hiking and culinary tour!

Upon arrival in the small town Bale, we checked into the four star Hotel La Grisa.

It features 25 air-conditioned room, three suites and an excellent restaurant, bar and spa. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
