Summer dreams at the Slovenian coast

Piran

Piran is one of the largest Medieval pearls of the Adriatic. The town that was built on salt is known for its picturesque Venetian palaces and narrow alleys, and its heart is Tartini Square. Salt is still produced in the nearby salt pans using a 700-year-old method. Here, you can also find a unique outdoor wellness centre.

Koper

In the City of a Hundred Suns, you can find rich traces of history and experience a diverse and modern urban vibe. A stroll between mighty palaces can be complemented by many culinary and other events. For a number of years, this town has been Slovenia's maritime window onto the world.

Izola

This pleasant coastal town on the doorstep of the Mediterranean has had a rich fishing tradition which is wonderfully complemented by the olive oil and wine made in the nearby countryside. Rex, the legendary sunken transoceanic ship, and the aquatic Archaeological Park in Simon's Bay also offer special experiences.

Portorož

This is a cosmopolitan coastal town with something for everyone. Comprehensive wellness services to pamper you, sandy beaches to play by the sea, a marina, the charm of the old bathing area that provides peaceful moments, endless fun in trendy clubs by the sea, or trying your luck in casinos – all this is Portorož.

Ankaran

Ankaran is known for its therapeutic climate with positive health effects and its protected section of the coast with Mediterranean flora on Cape Debeli Rtič. If you take a stroll along the coast, you will witness incredible scenes, such as a seashell cemetery, archaeological sites from the Roman times in the Bay of St Bartholomew, and other traces of history.

Slovenian Istria

Slovenia’s coastal countryside is a true treasure trove of special ethnological, cultural, and natural features. Authentic tastes of Istria, numerous panoramic viewpoints, and pleasant clustered villages on gentle hills invite you into their embrace. In a little church in Hrastovlje, you can see the stunning and unique Danse Macabre fresco. If you would like to visit a typical Istrian village, do not miss the heritage-protected village of Padna.
