Highlights
  • Nature Park Strunjan - Small group approach with carefully planned time, where experienced local tour operator’s chauffeur guide will collect you at designated location for an informative hourly ride to Mediterranean coast of Adriatic Sea.

We’ll drive through the »green belt« of Slovenian coast, passing Strunjan, a natural habitat of the typical flora and fauna of this region, since 90’s protected as nature reserve. From tops you will have excellent views over greenery and grid of pools used at former salt pans.

  • Port Piran - This petite Venetian port can hold its own against anyone, including the imperial capital just over the horizon that was responsible for much of its fortune. In fact Piran does have the same kind of open-air museum feel to it as Venice, but only on much smaller scale.

In Piran, you will feel as though you have stepped right into a picture postcard. You will be charmed during our walks through narrow winding streets of Piran! At the main square, you will be greeted by the statue of the most famous son of Piran, Giuseppe Tartini, composer and virtuoso violinist;

  • Church of St. George (Cerkev sv. Jurija) in Piran - reaching atop to the dramatically situated Cathedral of St. George, patron of the city. Back on the pier, you might catch fishermen unraveling a fishing nets and counting daily catch. Get to know more about salt – white gold of Piran!
  • Portoroz Beach - Nearby Portoroz has been a tourist destination as far back as the 13th century, when people were treated with seawater. But it reached it’s »golden age« in August 1910 when majestic Hotel Palace opened its doors. It was a charming pearl of the era. In 1913 Portorož hosted almost 7,000 guests and it started to become internationally renowned.

We will provide you with enough time to explore today’s vibe of the Slovenian prime coastal town, Portoroz.

After a nice half day experience we will return back to Ljubljana.

Drop off will be at same location as pick up.

The Best Day! - This was our favorite day in Slovenia! We had Milan again as our guide, and he once again hit a home run with providing us history and information. We also ran into a lot of traffic close to the border and he was very diligent with finding an alternative route to get us to Piran quicker. We also detoured from Portoroz to a winery which was the best decision, it was an incredible experience with unbeatable views. Highly recommend!

The magic of the Slovenian coast - It was a wonderful day enhanced by beautiful scenery, wandering through the historical and picturesque small town of Piran and coffee by the sea at the upmarket Portoroz. However best of all was the in depth knowledge of the culture, history and politics of the region of our driver who went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable day.

Holiday Heaven - The old town in Piran well worth visiting. Very quiet town with a lot of history & great restaurants. Portoroz is far more vibrant & commercialised a town with great beaches

Slovenia’s coast - Lovely visit to Piran and the coast of Slovenia which is very different from Ljubljana as it felt more Italian.

Terrific Guide to Lovely Coast of Slovenia - Wonderful driver with great information on the history of Slovenia. Turned out it was just my wife and I due to cancellations which was nice. We opted not to take free time in a tourist area, so he took us up to wine country for a tasting. Great fun.
