The Soardo-Bembo Palace, a Venetian-Gothic landmark in the town centre, speaks to centuries of rich cultural heritage. Approximately 10 kilometres to the northwest lies the glamorous harbour city of Rovinj, one of Croatia’s most photographed destinations, where pastel-coloured houses tumble down toward a waterfront lined with seafood restaurants and gelato parlours. The Church of St. Euphemia crowns the old town peninsula and offers panoramic views across the archipelago.
Heading south, the pristine beaches of Kamenjak Nature Park (roughly 40 kilometres) reward visitors with dramatic cliff formations and crystal-clear swimming coves. Closer to home, the beaches near Bale and the neighbouring resort areas provide calm, shallow waters ideal for younger swimmers. The UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč is about 35 kilometres north, while the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pula can be reached in around 30 minutes by car.
