Slovenia is easily accessible from Istria. And this tour explores one of its most picture-postcard areas – Lake Bled, with its emerald-colored waters and turreted castle framed against the backdrop of the Julian Alps.
After your guide picks you up in Pula, you will head to Lake Bled, the epitome of Alpine tranquillity. You’d be forgiven in thinking that you’d stumbled on to a filming location for the Sound of Music. The pine-clad slopes, the picturesque dwellings and the fairytale wooded islet with 99 steps leading to St Mary’s Chapel are irresistible.
You will stop at the medieval Bled Castle, set into a towering cliff face. With its cone-shaped turrets and lofty parapets, it's something special.
Then it’s into your locally made wooden boat, to be rowed across to the incredibly pretty chapel. The chapel is steeped in legend, from how you ring the bell to how a groom carries his bride.
After the tour, you will be brought back to Rovinj.
